The Homeless World Cup has come to an end after seven days of games in the centre of Glasgow.

Over the course of the tournament, almost 100,000 spectators watched teams from 52 nations compete on specially-constructed street football pitches in the city's George Square.

Games were televised on STV Glasgow and STV Edinburgh, while a further two million viewers watched matches online.

The finals on Saturday saw Mexico successfully defend their women's title with a 5-0 victory over Kyrgyzstan.

Mexico's men's team also retained their trophy after beating Brazil by a score of 6-1.

The games were hailed as a "fantastic tournament" that showed the transformative power of sport.

Mel Young, the event's co-founder, said: "We promised that George Square would be the most inspiring place on the planet for the duration of this tournament, that so it has been.

"The people of Glasgow have taken our players to their hearts, and made this such a very special tournament in the history of the Homeless World Cup. Games have been fantastic fun, and our players have received unstinting support.

"As our players head back to their countries, we wish them every success as they look to build on this experience, and create a life they would want for themselves. Rightly, they should stand tall. We can genuinely say: you are all winners."

Following the games, a legacy programme for 120 volunteers with experience of homelessness will receive support from the Big Lottery Fund.

The fund's Maureen McGinn said: "More than 120 volunteers - all of whom have been affected by homelessness at some point in their lives - have brought warmth and a huge Glasgow welcome to everyone attending.

"Thanks to our partnership with Glasgow Life, the programme of support will continue long after the last match of this Homeless World Cup, giving everyone involved a chance to improve their lives further through culture, sport and learning."

Minister for Sport Aileen Campbell hailed the event as "a fantastic and exciting tournament" and congratulated both of Scotland's teams for their performances.

She added: "I visited earlier this week and really enjoyed watching some top class matches. It's been great to see George Square busy every day and is a perfect example of how the power of sport can both transform lives and change perceptions for the better."
