FIFA VOLUNTEERS: THE HEARTBEAT OF FIFA EVENTS
Behind every ticket, every fan, every whistle and every game is another team: the volunteers. Always there, at every moment, across stadiums and other venues, behind the scenes, doing it all. Greeting legends, finding seats, carrying flags, supporting the media and preparing accreditation passes. Planning, guiding, transporting and welcoming. They are the pre-match nerves, the in-game roars, the post-match respite, the warm smiles, the cheering voices. They are the heartbeat of the most popular sport in the world. Join our FIFA Volunteer Community now and do not miss the chance to become a FIFA Volunteer. One team, one global community, one big football family. FIFA volunteers. Beat as one.
