Teenagers from Syria and Palestine have taken part, for the first time, in the Street Child World Cup, held this year in Doha.

An 8 day football tournament it included 28 teams, both men's and women's from 24 countries.

The aim of the competition isn't just a chance for the teens to show off their football skills, but also to give them a chance at a better life.

Hazem Attar and his family escaped from the Syrian city of Aleppo 7 years ago.

Aged just 10 at the time, he endured a perilous boat journey before arriving in Turkey.

The Street Child United organisation which holds the competition every four years, aims to ensure that every child has a legal identity by helping secure passports for them.

It also aims to protect them from violence and provide educational opportunities in hopes of creating a better future.

Street Child United also supports them in getting their voices heard by their governments as they demand change.

Julia Pimenta is the teams and programmes manager at Street Child.

Hanin Saleh, the Palestinian team goalkeeper and Hazem Attar from the Syrian team are clear on what they want.
