We Flew Street Kids to the Soccer World Championship

150 million kids around the world grew up on the streets without an official identity they won't have a chance to get a job a basic education or even just live a normal life but thanks to organizations like Street child United some of these problems can actually be fixed through soccer so I sent Darren to Brazil to meet Adam the head of Street child United Brazil we set this place up as a place that they could come and have a good time and play and be safe but try and give them hope it's actually very dangerous hubby kids we've come across a number of people walking around with machine guns the police don't even come into the areas over here Street child United run soccer programs all over the world to teach kids teamwork help them get identities and develop the skills they need to have a future Beyond these streets Rika grew up as a street child in Brazil she was on their Championship Street child World Cup team back in 2014 and went through their leadership program since then she's been named to BBC's list of the 100 most influential women in the world I started look at me and see that I can do anything I want I can't believe that I'm going to be an example for all the people and after meeting drika we wanted to give these kids the same opportunity she had to succeed so we got them some shoes and plane tickets but more importantly we helped them establish their identities to get the necessary documents for a passport to head to Qatar every four years Street child United brings kids from all over the globe to compete for the title of Champions we speak about birth registration and identity this is the I am somebody World Cup the teams kicked the tournament off with preliminary matches to see who gets the opportunity to face off in the finals first deer competition yesterday the girls did very well they had four games they won everyone outside of the soccer matches they get an opportunity to share their experiences learn about other cultures and make friends with kids just like them Street child United even took it a step further and gave them an opportunity to train one-on-one with the pros my name is Ariana christiani I only came to this specific event because I knew these kids were so excited to be here that it gives me new energy to come and play football games no matter where you are we are the same and we all like to you know play

match of the quarterfinals the Brazil boys were eliminated by Pakistan on penalty kicks in the semi-finals you Egypt ended up beating Pakistan taking the championship for the boys the cool part was even though these kids don't speak the same language they still picked each other up and stood United even though the Brazilian boys didn't make it to the finals the girls did as Brazil faced off against Colombia and this is the final match they seem to have met their match but the Colombian girls being much tougher than expected the defense was all the zoo but they took it to the next level but that is absolutely the best fitted skill I've seen all tournament they turned it on and started scoring nonsense as luck would have at the team Darren visited in Brazil won the entire tournament and they leave national heroes to help the kids that didn't have a chance to compete we're paying for 1 000 more kids to get their birth registration documents and passports to help Street child
