The Qatar 2025 FIFA Volunteer Programme is now open, and this is your chance to join over 4,000 volunteers making the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the FIFA Arab Cup unforgettable. The prestigious program offers residents of Qatar a golden opportunity to be part of the action, learn new skills, meet people from all over the world, and make history.
FIFA and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) are seeking friendly, passionate, and proactive volunteers to assist in delivering two exciting tournaments in November and December 2025. Whether it’s helping fans, managing operations, or assisting media teams, volunteers will play a key role in creating a smooth and joyful event for everyone.
These events build on Qatar’s proud history of volunteering for global sports events. From the FIFA World Cup to the AFC Asian Cup, volunteers have been at the heart of it all. Now, it’s your turn to join this proud tradition and shine on the world stage.
Volunteers will receive training, official uniforms, meals during shifts, free transportation, special gifts, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. No prior experience is needed. If you live in Qatar, are 18 years old or above, and speak good English (Arabic is a plus), this is your chance to be part of something big.
