Same Team — A Street Soccer Story
No.1 – Players always come first
No.2 – We look to the future
No.3 – We never leave anyone behind
No.4 – We place others before ourselves
No.5 – We keep our promises
Five women have come together with one goal, one dream. Coming from very different backgrounds in life they have to work together as a team if they want to do what no one from Scotland has ever done before. To win the Homeless World Cup, and bring the trophy home.
A joyful story of community and teamwork, building connections between each other, and homelessness. Written with the Dundee Women’s Street Soccer Team, Robbie Gordon and Jack Nurse's Same Team — A Street Soccer Story is an uplifting whirlwind through the highs and lows of homeless football.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, in December 2023.
