Colin Farell came out to support the very first game in the Homeless World Cup.
The movie star joined the Irish team on the field for the national anthem and was on side cheering throughout the game.
“This event brings a great sense of inclusion. It is an extraordinary thing to be around,” he said.

Unfortunately the Irish team were up against formal world cup winners in the Ukranian team and lost the match – but the Dublin actor insisted all is not lost yet.
“It was a tough game but you move on. We still have four more games to go.”
“It was great to have Colin’s support, as an actor and former footballer he appreciates the value, confidence and sense of self that can be had from expressing yourself in a sporting endeavour,” Street League founder Sean Kavanagh said.
