HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Under-privileged people from eight nations began competing on Monday in a "Homeless Euro 2024" tournament running parallel to the main championship and intended to share the joys of football with those who have suffered on the street.

Teams from Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Sweden paraded into Hamburg's fan zone at the start of the week-long event organised by a local charity and funded by donations.
