Over 25,000 people apply to Qatar 2025 FIFA Volunteer Programme
At the iconic Lusail Stadium, a steady flow of candidates make their way through the tunnels of the world-class facility to be interviewed for a role at two tournaments set to be hosted by Qatar later this year: the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025™ and the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025™. More than 25,000 Qatar-based applicants have shown interest in being part of delivering the two events, which Qatar is set to host in November and December of this year. When the recruitment process is over, a total of 4,000 volunteers will be recruited to support across 20 different functional areas. 'The Qatar 2025 FIFA Volunteer Programme builds on the tremendous legacy created in Qatar through the hosting of mega sporting events. The success of each of these tournaments has been possible because of the devotion and tireless efforts of thousands of volunteers,' said Haya Al Noaimi, LOC Administration Executive Director. Andhini Rahmayani, 25 years old, moved to Qatar four years ago from Indonesia to work in the country's growing hospitality sector. Her decision to apply as a volunteer came from her desire to use her professional skillset in a manner that would give back to the community. 'I look forward to using my skills in customer service to support guests and fans throughout these tournaments. I can't wait to meet new people and learn about their cultures and be part of the U-17 World Cup that will feature my home country of Indonesia,' said Rahmayani. A total of 126 nationalities residing in Qatar were represented in the applicants' base, ranging in age from 18 to 76. Once interviews are complete, selected candidates will receive role offers beginning in August. Fouad Redouan works full-time as a chef in a Moroccan restaurant in Doha, Qatar. His decision to volunteer comes from a humanitarian perspective, driven by a desire to give back to the community. 'Volunteering is a human expression. Everyone loves to help and be part of the community in which they live. What we witnessed in Qatar 2022 was beautiful. It inspired everyone to be a part of it, and to contribute to the success of these events here in Qatar, and that's what I hope I can do,' said Redouan. The FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025™ will take place from 3-27 November at the state-of-the-art Aspire Zone complex and will be the first FIFA competition to feature 48 teams. The 2025 edition will be the first of five consecutive tournaments Qatar is hosting through to 2029. Meanwhile, the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025™ will run from 1-18 December across six Qatar 2022 venues and feature 16 Arab teams who will vie for the title of regional champion. In addition to this year's edition, Qatar will be hosting the tournament again in 2029 and 2033.
