After the Euros, now the big one: Time for new heroes with the Homeless World Cup

In this weeks issue…We’ve got Homeless World Cup fever! To celebrate we have three special covers this week, one each for England, Wales and Scotland (all below)…

After the thrills of the Euros we’re set for the beautiful game that REALLY matters, as the Homeless World Cup comes to Britain. We have truly inspiring interviews with players from the home nations and abroad, a look at how street soccer has united the world, and all the number-crunching match stats you’ll ever need, plus our essential guide to how it all works.

Additionally, some of our vendors have landed prized positions volunteering for the Homeless World Cup, so they’ll be hard at work around the pitch during the tournament at George Square in Glasgow, which started on July 10 and runs until the end of this week, and we’ll also have vendors out selling to the 100,000 spectators who are predicted to turn out. We’ll be covering all the action online throughout the week.
