Similarity: Both the HWC and FIFA WC utilize soccer to bring people together and engage in physical activity.

Difference: The size of each event differs. Specifically, the FIFA WC brings together millions of players and viewers while the HWC has much smaller crowds.

One of the biggest difference between FIFA and HWC is the media coverage. FIFA is cover through on many social media platforms and is broadcasted through many TV channels. Whereas, the HWC does not obtain as much recognition or coverage.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest difference that can be seen is the size and the scope of the event as the HWC has a significantly smaller field and smaller audience as compared to FIFA. In addition, the HWC has fewer players on the field at a time.

# data[].attributes.body
One significant similarity between FIFA and the HWC is the competitive nature inherent within sport. Within both events, winning and losing was established as key motivator for participating in both the HWC and the FIFA World Cup.

A similarity of the HWC and FIFA is that they both have media broadcasting and photographers present at the match.
A difference is the size of and energy coming from the crowds, being much more at the FIFA final compared to HWC.

I found one commonality between the Homeless World Cup (pictured below) and the FIFA World Cup is the pride the athletes take in representing their country.

One difference is that FIFA players represent a nation or country, and they choose to play in the tournament with glory; but the athletes in HWC are offered with the opportunity, fighting for eliminating their social labels of homelessness.

Both organizations use football as a means of change and unification. The main and largest difference is the people participating in each, and who the organizations are created for. Oppositely the HWC, the FIFA World Cup consists of professional athletes, being paid millions of dollars.

# data[].attributes.body
FIFA WC is much more well-known and the players are paid a lot money to play on the teams. This is not the case with the HWC.

What do the matches make you think about in relation to development?

# data[].attributes.body
Both the FIFA WC and the HWC depend on infrastructure being built to host the tournaments. This relates to development, and the issues associated with building large stadiums for major sporting events (pushing people out of their cities, unsafe working/labour conditions)

# data[].attributes.body
The football players that play in the FIFA World Cup are professional athletes and have significant salaries to play the sport. They are then asked to represent their country at a national level. The HWC is a national competition; however, the players are not professional athletes and can sometimes be unemployed.

# data[].attributes.body
Both the FIFA WC and HWC bring people from the same countries closer together. Instead of playing for different clubs or experiencing homelessness in different areas, the players are brought together to unite under one country.

# data[].attributes.body
The HWC field is similar to the indoor soccer fields and the crowd is much smaller and less involved with the games in comparison to the FIFA world cup matches.

# data[].attributes.body
Not only does the HWC have a smaller field to play on, the crowds and attention given the the HWC is a lot less than FIFA.

# data[].attributes.body
FIFA and HWC both utilize soccer as a way to achieve their goals, whether it be a means to facilitate person empowerment or change within a marginalized community, or as a form of entertainment.

# data[].attributes.body
One difference between the two is the scale of the event. Although HWC has its strengths, HWC coverage is a lot smaller than the FIFA WC, where it generates millions of viewers and it more well known.

# data[].attributes.body
Some similarities are the live-media coverage and commentary during the games. Both organizations bring people together.
Some differences are the size of the pitch and number of players per team (HWC). FIFA also had a short period for going over players' stats, whereas HWC did not. The feel, look, and broadcasting of FIFA seemed to possess a more professional characteristic than HWC (not that HWC was not professional).

# data[].attributes.body
A difference between HWC and FIFA lies in both the size of the field and event as well as the number of people involved. The size of the FIFA field is much bigger, as well has having many more people on the field. The crowd is much larger for FIFA as well.

# data[].attributes.body
As mentioned in Magee & Jeanes (2011), the HWC began with one trophy then increased the number of trophies to increase the number of 'winners', which may have a greater impact on more competitors/participants. On the other hand, FIFA has a single trophy (image).

The pciture showed that team Brazil had the option to form a team mixed with male and female athletes to participate in the HWC. While FIFA WC is seperated into women's and men's WC.

# data[].attributes.body
HWC has a heightened focus on the social activism surrounding players and state of homelessness around the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Both organizations seek to improve the lives of those in poor communities and regions (correctly speaking, it is the FIFA Foundation I am comparing) through outreach and development programs.

# data[].attributes.body
The popularity is much higher for FIFA WC whereas HWC is not very poplar as compared to FIFA WC. Also, there are more audience for FIFA WC as well.

# data[].attributes.body
In both the HWC and FIFA, you can tell that there is a strong relationship between teammates. This can be seen in the way that both teams huddle and talk

# data[].attributes.body
The field's themselves, and the area that the players were to play on were of complete different size, in that the field for the FIFA tournament was 3 times the size as the one for the homeless world cup. You could also tell that the announcers for the homeless world cup were not as professional or experienced as the ones for the FIFA tournament.

# data[].attributes.body
Both bring unity and help people to come together and meet each other. The envionrment it produces causes people everywhere share their common interest; soccer!

# data[].attributes.body
FIFA WC is very well known and has a lot of publicity around the event whereas HWC is less known and not much in the way of advertising it

# data[].attributes.body
