Join the Team: Volunteer for the 2026 World Cup in North America
The 2026 World Cup matches are set to be a thrilling event, and if you're eager to be a part of the action, consider volunteering for the tournament. FIFA has opened the volunteer application process, offering a chance to participate in any of the 16 host cities across North America. To be eligible, volunteers must meet specific requirements.
The application process kicks off in August, with a deadline in September for submitting documentation. Tryouts for the volunteer team will be held from October to January, and offers will be sent out from December to March. Background checks will be conducted after accepting a conditional offer, with a different process for Mexico.
Preparation time for tournament volunteers will be from March to June, leading up to the matches starting in June and concluding in July at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. FIFA aims to recruit over 65,000 volunteers for the event, and applicants can specify their preferred host city during the application process.
No prior experience is required to volunteer, making it an excellent opportunity for soccer enthusiasts to get involved. If you're interested in being part of the 2026 World Cup as a volunteer, start your application process by filling out the form on FIFA's website. Join the team and be part of the excitement next summer!
