Wales captain Tom Brady said The Tournament had helped to change his life
Six months ago, homeless Tom Brady did not believe he had any kind of Future - yet he can now look back on captaining Wales at an international football tournament.
He described leading his country at the Homeless World Cup as "surreal".

Mr Brady described his life spiralling after he split up with his girlfriend two years ago - "Sofa surfing" and struggling to get back on his feet.
"I had a bad past six months and, at the start of the year, I [didn't think I would] be Here Today . . " he said.
"But this totally changed me. I'm looking at a positive way of life now. "
The Competition has also had a big impact on Bonny Jewell, a striker for Wales' women's team.
Because of anxiety and depression she has struggled to socialise, but said it was "amazing" how her fellow players and The Crowd came together to support the competitors.
Mr Brady scored for Wales in the opening match of the 2019 Homeless World Cup"We have had some amazing conversations with The Public on homelessness," said Ms Dalton.
"They've committed to having chats with people who are on The Street , showing Kindness and compassion and writing to their AMs and MPs calling for change to social housing and universal credit. "
She Said she hoped The Tournament 's legacy could live on through policy changes and "everyday acts of Kindness ".
