Streetball Soccer, a new impact fashion range has launched as the official merchandise partner for the Homeless World Cup.
Designed by renowned artist Juan de Lascurain Gossler, all profits made from sales of Streetball Soccer merchandise will go to the Homeless World Cup.
The designs are inspired by the passion and energy of street soccer games played in favelas and shanty towns across the world. The range includes artistic t-shirts and hoodies such as styles based on the DIY footballs found in South America.
Juan de Lascurain Gossler, designer of the Streetball Soccer collection said, “I have always been inspired by the love of soccer throughout the world. It truly brings out every human emotion and can bring people from different cultures and beliefs together. Whether we call it soccer, football or fútbol, the game might go by different names but it unites us.”
An international survey by SoccerTop.com found that nine out of 10 people think soccer brings communities closer together.
“Every dollar will be going towards the tournament. It is an organization that has helped millions recover from extreme poverty and homelessness through community soccer projects,” adds de Lascurain Gossler.
Mel Young, Homeless World Cup, Co-founder and President, said: “We are excited to see where our partnership can take us over the next three years, starting at the Sacramento 2023 Homeless World Cup.”
The launch of the streetball range has been timed around the start of the 2023 Homeless World Cup, which is taking place in Sacramento between July 8 and July 15.
Streetball Soccer is available to purchase globally through SoccerTop.com or fans can purchase the merchandise at tournament outlets at the Hornet Stadium, Sacramento.
The fashion range is featured as the official merchandise of the Homeless World Cup, which is the largest global charity soccer event ever held in history. Up to 40 countries from around the world will be taking part with international sponsors including SoccerTop.com.
