Congratulations, Minneapolis! And good luck, Team USA. 8 players are selected to represent the United States at the Homeless World Cup each year. These players are chosen not only for their soccer abilities and success off the field but for their capacity to fullfil their role of goodwill ambassadors and to serve as advocates for people who are homeless.
