SHEDIA STREET PAPER

It was about the same time, back in 2007, when we responded to a global call from the Homeless World Cup Foundation to form our very own team and organize a fundraising activity in support of social football projects from eight nations that were trying to make it to Copenhagen for the 5th edition of the Homeless World Cup. And, so, the "Shedia extreme team" was born.
Four people invited their friends to contribute on a per kilometer base as they ran the Alonissos (a beautiful island) Marathon, on the last day of May 2007.

We had a lot of fun, we were all finishers and along the way over 1000 euros were raised for our noble cause.
Since then, the "Shedia extreme team" stuck together and just kept running.

Over the years, thousands of people have run with our jersey raising much needed funds for our local social projects.
But, of course, we never forget that we are a member of a bigger, global social sporting movement, a member of the Homeless World Cup. The 5K challenge is a great opportunity to get back on the road, have more fun and become an active part of the bigger picture.

All this, as we prepare for the Athens Authentic Marathon, in November 2025. This year, an estimated 1,000 will run with the Shedia/Greek Homeless Football Team jersey. Maybe you wish to join us, too!

Afterall, a ball and a run can change the world!
