Applications to be a part of the volunteer team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup – Qatar are now open via volunteer.fifa.com. A total of 20,000 enthusiastic volunteers will work across 45 functional areas at official and non-official sites such as stadiums, training sites, the airport, fan zones, hotels, and public transportation hubs.
“I’ve always loved volunteering, even when I was little,” said 31-year-old Fatema Al Majib, a legal officer, who was a volunteer at the FIFA Arab Cup 2021. “When the idea came up to volunteer for the FIFA World Cup, I thought it would be amazing to take part in a sporting event taking place in the Arab world and the Gulf for the first time. As a Qatari woman, I would be very proud to give my contribution and make new friends,” she said.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old on October 1, 2022 and speak English – Arabic is an advantage. No previous experience is needed and candidates from all backgrounds and different parts of the world are welcome to apply.
Selected volunteers will receive a limited-edition adidas uniform along with a meal during their shift and free access to public transport. The 2022 FIFA World Cup – Qatar will take place from 21 November to 18 December, but some volunteer roles will start from 1 October.
The kick-off of the biggest volunteer programme in Qatar’s history will be marked by a live event tonight, at 20:00 (Doha time), at the city’s Katara Amphitheatre. Football icons and special guests are among the star-studded line-up who will be inviting the large audience of potential applicants to register to become a volunteer. The ceremony will be streamed live on FIFA’s YouTube channel .
