2026 FIFA World Cup organizers begin search for some 65,000 tournament volunteers

Organizers are looking for volunteers to help staff the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

With 48 teams and 104 games across 16 venues in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. at the expanded soccer showcase, plenty of hands are needed. Organizers expect to use some 65,000 volunteers, including 6,000 in Canada, making the 2026 competition FIFA’s largest-ever volunteer program.
