Over half a million people have signed up on FIFA’s global volunteer platform in order to take part in any future tournament, said the International football federation in a recent press release.
Volunteer numbers have soared from 100,000 since October 2021, with the fast-approaching FIFA World Cup™ unsurprisingly proving the biggest draw, further stated the same source.
“This rise in people signing up to the platform truly is remarkable,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to the press release.
“The surge in numbers shows that our volunteer program and platform are becoming a real, global community, with incredible interest in taking part in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year,” he added.
“Volunteers play a key role in every FIFA tournament. Along with their energy and smiles, they bring a unique atmosphere, giving their time and expertise to ensure football continues to flourish,” he further stated.
“Once again, volunteers have shown their commitment to, and love of, our sport, and we are truly thankful for this,” FIFA President added, according to the same source.
Interviews will be completed by 13 August, when the tournament reaches the 100 days-to-go milestones.
Members of the public aged at least 18, whether passionate football fans or simply interested in the volunteering experience, have until Sunday, 31 July to apply to take part in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 at volunteer.fifa.com, which is also the place to go to register for other FIFA events, concluded the international football federation in the press release.
