FROM THE STREET TO THE PLAYING FIELD WITH TELMEX

This is a social integration program that provides development opportunities to young people living in homeless conditions by offering them real opportunity to transcend through sport activities. The teams integrated by this young community participate in a national soccer league; and a national team is then chosen to represent Mexico in the Homeless World Cup, an international annual soccer tournament where more than 70 countries participate.
