Football's Homeless World Cup

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Football's Homeless World Cup

As money poured forth on transfer deadline day, the Homeless World Cup took place in Oslo

The Homeless World Cup in Oslo came to an end this week, how striking that it should be played out against the backdrop of a record breaking transfer window. We hear from Sophie and David who both found themselves in need of help in their lives and are now on the road to recovery through football, proudly representing Wales!  Social went last week.

When you win the World Cup... but have to go back to work
There was an unexpected side effect to the recent victory of the New Zealand women's rugby team at the World Cup in Ireland. The city of Auckland lost its ability to send one of its detectives under cover. Why? Well when you've just captained the rugby mad nation to another World Cup win there aren't that many people, or criminals, who don't know who you are! By day Fiao'o Fa'amausili is a detective in the Auckland police force, at night she spearheads the finest team in women's rugby.

From Old Trafford to New Beginnings 
Fast cars, flashy jewellery, expensive clothing, sure… but being environmentally friendly isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when you think Premier League footballer. But one man who played at Manchester United alongside Ronaldo, Rooney and Giggs, is trying to prove otherwise. Now retired, Richard Eckersley is the owner of "Earth Food Love" a shop in Devon in the South West of England that is trying to become Britain's only zero waste supermarket. That means none of its 200 products comes with any packaging. So don't forget to bring your own bags, bottles and bowls if you want to buy anything!

Cerebral Palsy Football: 
We look ahead to football’s Cerebral Palsy World Championships with England captain Jack Rutter. He developed the condition after he was punched to the ground in an unprovoked attack.
