Get ready for the 8th Rio 2010 Homeless World Cup, 19-26 September 2010

 

After the high drama and undiluted emotion of being the host nation in 2005, Scotland may have felt less pressure in Cape Town but they were fighting again in Copenhagen, going all the way through as well deserving winners! A terrible road show leads to the final selection of the players, starting from 600 athletes. Final Position: Milan 2009 - 12th; Melbourne 2008 - 4th; Copenhagen 2007 - Champions; Cape Town 2006 - 33rd; Edinburgh 2005 - 4th; Gothenburg 2004 - 4th; Graz 2003 - 11th (INSP Network Trophy Winners)
