Like every year, the Homeless World Cup French partner is organising a nationwide tournament, in the city of Montpellier.
Many organisations from all corners of the country have been invited to send players, men or women, to take part in this one day event.Collectif La Boussole, the Homeless World Cup's official partner in France, is expecting around 300 players.
The event is to take place at the end of April though exact dates have not been confirmed yet.
It will be the perfect opportunity to select the players that will represent France at the Poznan 2013 Homeless World Cup. A first round of selection will be done by French Football Association members.Collectif La Boussole will then be speaking to social workers and the different organisations that brought these players to the tournament, to select the final squad. Their social backgrounds, motivation and social skills will all be taken into account.

Through a number of associations and other organisations, Collectif La Boussole organises sports events as well as cultural programmes for disadvantaged people in France.
