A broadcasting rights contract for the 19th 'Seoul 2024 Homeless World Cup' to be held in Korea for the first time in Asia has been signed. This tournament is sponsored by FIFA and the Korea Football Association (KFA).

The organizing committee of the 'Seoul 2024 Homeless World Cup" announced that it signed a broadcasting rights contract with AI automatic sports broadcasting platform 'Hogak' at its headquarters in Pangyo, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on the 14th.

Hogak will be hosted by the Homeless World Cup Foundation for eight days from September 21 to 28 and will participate as the host broadcaster of the Seoul 2024 Homeless World Cup competition organized by Big Issue Korea, and broadcast live on the AI sports broadcast platform 'Hogak'.

The Homeless World Cup, which marks its 19th tournament this year, will be held at three stadiums installed at Hanyang University Stadium in Seoul, and will be held in Seoul for the first time in Asia after Amsterdam, Glasgow, Oslo, Mexico City, and Sacramento, USA, last year.

I hope this tournament will be remembered as the most beautiful World Cup. Through this competition, we will do our best to provide inspiration to people who are in the blind spot of residential rights and contribute to changing social perceptions and attitudes toward them."
