Behind every ticket, every TV shot, every game, and every goal is another team – the volunteers.
Application to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Volunteer Programme is now open. A total of 20,000 volunteers are expected to 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.

They will create memories that will last a lifetime for fans, players, media, Qatar and the world – as well as for themselves. Application to volunteer is now open via volunteer.fifa.com.
Thirty-one years old legal officer Fatema Hassan Almajed, a volunteer at the FIFA Arab Cup 2021™ said she loved volunteering even when she was little. She said 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.
