“ I am delighted that the first Street Child World Cup will take place in South Africa where I know there is a huge passion for football. No child should have to live on the streets and I fully endorse this campaign giving street children a voice to claim their rights.”
Sir Alex Ferguson
“I know from personal experience just what power football can have to inspire and change young peoples lives whatever their background or nationality. This is what the Deloitte Street Child World Cup is all about and I give it my full support.”
David Beckham
“No child should have to live on the streets. I commend the Street Child World Cup for providing a platform for the rights of street children to be heard.”
Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP, Prime Minister
“The Deloitte Street Child World Cup demonstrates the tremendous potential of every single child, and especially street children, who are so often treated as less than human. I am proud that the first ever Street Child World Cup will take place in South Africa “ and I urge all governments to guarantee the rights of this most marginalised group of their citizens to lives in which their promise is fulfilled.””
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
