Doha: There has been an overwhelming response to the volunteer registration by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC).
Over 100,000 people from the region and the world registered in the first 48 hours of launch of the official platform www.seeyouin2022.qa.
SC on Sunday officially opened the doors for people from Qatar, region and the world to register as volunteer to support preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar.
Volunteers will contribute towards numerous Qatar 2022 milestones, including stadium launches and test events. They will support in a range of functions, including event management, hospitality, marketing, communications, audience management, security, medical services and more.
Applicants must be aged 16 and over, they are not required to have any volunteering experience and will receive training in the lead-up to the tournament, which will kick off on November 21, 2022.
Working as a volunteer now will give participants an advantage when applying for FIFA’s Qatar 2022 volunteer programme, which will cover various aspects of the tournament, including match day operations.
SC’s Secretary-General, Hassan Al Thawadi said: “Volunteers would play a pivotal role in helping Qatar deliver a unique tournament. We have always maintained that this tournament is one for the whole region. Now, we are excited to open registration for volunteers interested in joining us on our journey.
“This tournament will provide a platform to showcase the true nature of the Arab world and volunteers will be essential partners in ensuring that all our preparations for 2022 help achieve this,” Hassan added.
