The event, which began on 10th July and runs until 16th July in Glasgow’s George Square, sees over 500 players from homeless and socially disadvantaged backgrounds from across the world congregate to give them the chance to represent their country on a world stage.

Ahead of the competition, Dundee football players James Maich and Connor Henderson joined local butcher Scott Jarron at Scott Brothers Butchers to celebrate their Team Scotland selection.

Dundee butcher Scott Jarron, who owns Scott Brothers Butchers, a member of QMS’s Scotch Butchers Club, said: “We’re excited to showcase the best of Scottish produce alongside the best Scottish talent by supporting our home team in this worldwide project.

“As a Scotch Butchers Club member we put quality at the forefront and emphasise the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle to our customers, and red meat’s role within that.”

Alongside Scotch Beef PGI, other key sponsors for the event include Royal Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh Airport and Burness Paull. Each are supporters of the overarching social enterprise Street Soccer Scotland which runs hundreds of football programmes across the country, attracting thousands of vulnerable young people and adults, as well as selecting, coaching and mentoring Team Scotland at the Homeless World Cup.

Team Scotland manager, Ally Dawson, said: “The Homeless World Cup is always a fantastic event and experience for everyone involved but to be selected for the host nation’s team will make this one extra special for James and Connor.  Playing in front of a vocal home crowd in Glasgow will be a positive memory that will remain with the players for ever.”
