The Homeless World Cup is coming to a close, and the Glasgow tournament has been hailed a stunning success with thousands of fans and viewers cheering on the teams from around the world.

The action was broadcast live on STV Glasgow, and now we round up the best bits, on and off the field.

Scotland were the host nation, and received a rousing reception from fans and players alike at the opening ceremony. In the first fixture Scotland's men faced Hong Kong in the opening fixture on Sunday July 10, followed by women's team against Norway.

In total, 512 players in 64 teams, representing 52 countries, faced off in the spirit of competition and to celebrate and highlight homelessness and the work of the the charity.

A special visitor attended the tournament too. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon watched Scotland's games against Grenada and the Netherlands before meeting the teams and posing for a squad photo.

"The Homeless World Cup, generally, wherever its held is brilliant", she said.

"The work it does to get young folk who are maybe excluded or having tough times to be part of a team and doing something special is immense. To have it here in Glasgow is wonderful. I'm really proud of it."

While much of the focus is on the high standard of play and the competitive edge, the Homeless World Cup does an incredible amount of work to tackle homelessness around the world.

Founder Mel Young explained how the tournament came about and what it does to help people.

The First Minister's visit coincided with perhaps the tournament's most exciting sporting moment, as Scotland men's team won a match against Gibralter with a last minute screamer.

But the real story of the Homeless World Cup is the effect it has on those involved. Scotland women's captain Karen Bogie's was one of the most inspirational.
