Description
When Fossi Wandji arrived in Seoul in 2022, fleeing civil war in his homeland Cameroon, he did not anticipate living in an airport for over a year, after his asylum claim was rejected.
South Korea is still considering whether to grant him refuge, but while he waits, he's been busy representing his potential new country on the football field at the Homeless World Cup, hosted in Asia for the first time this year.
The tournament, which is newly backed by global football body FIFA, showcases national teams made up of young, unhoused people, refugees, and those who have battled substance abuse. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
