Brazilian girls prepare for Street Child World Cup

A special sporting event is scheduled in Qatar this October, just a month ahead of the World Cup. 

It’s the fourth Street Child World Cup, and as the name implies, it will bring at-risk girls and boys from across the world to take part in a football tournament: 28 teams from 24 countries. 

The Brazilian girls’ team is gearing up for the competition.
