The Street Child World Cup took place in Doha in Qatar this year.

And for the first time, there were teams from Palestine and Syria taking part.

The competition included 8 days of football matches with 28 women's and men's teams from 24 countries.

However, the purpose of the games isn't just about winning football matches.

It's also a way to provide better opportunities for street children.

At 10 years old, Hazem Attar escaped conflict in Syria with his family.

He describes how they risked their lives to reach Turkey by sea.

Street Child United, which puts on the event every four years, works to improve the situation of disadvantaged children.

It's trying to provide legal identity, access to education and a safe environment for them.

Its aim is to get these children heard by their governments.

Julia Pimenta, manager at Street Child, explains that football's also a way to get the attention of these children's governments.

Hanin and Hazem want people to know about human rights in their countries and to see families reunited.
