Kick Off

Filmplakat zeigt fünf jubelnde Fußballspieler in roten Trikots und schwarzen Shorts auf einem blauen Spielfeld vor einem Tor mit Netz, mit dem Titel Kick Off und dem Text Eine Geschichte von Siegern sowie Ein Film von Hüseyin Tabak.

The Homeless World Cup is a world championship for homeless people, asylum seekers, former alcoholics and drug addicts. No player can earn money in this competition; it's about much more than that: here one can play one's way back into life. Football is giving them back feelings they lost a long time ago: respect, pride, self-convidence. And renewed zest for life. Perhaps, above all, renewed zest for life.
