Chicken House has stepped up to help Zimbabwe's Homeless World Cup team travel to Oslo, Norway. The company agreed to pay for part of the airfare and other travel costs. Eight women will represent Zimbabwe at the competition for the first time as an all-female squad. The players hope to win medals at the annual event organized through Young Achievement Sports for Development. Team officials said corporate support makes a huge difference for their program.

Trevor Muromo leads Chicken House and spoke at yesterday's ceremony where they announced the partnership. He said the company wants to support young women and help them focus on their goals. The sponsorship gives female players a chance to shine and pursue their dreams. Muromo believes sports can help women avoid problems that might distract them from success. His company sees this as a perfect way to encourage young women.

Zimbabwe has competed at the Homeless World Cup ten times before and will make their eleventh appearance. The tournament happens for the twentieth time this year. Petros Chatiza coordinates the Zimbabwe team and said more companies should join their efforts. Joe Kuseka coaches the squad that features Mercy Humbira, Ethel Rupondo, Savier Chitemwe, Paidamoyo Kandielo, Pamela Muraicho, Deon Gonya, Kelly-Joe Tafadzwa Kandemiri and Lynn-Marry Susan Chirendo.
