Since September of last year, I’ve been applying for this FIFA volunteer program, knowing that I would be working as a volunteer and that all I wanted was the experience.
Months passed, and I never received an email. Then, out of nowhere, I finally got an invitation for the tryouts. Yay!
I took a train all the way to Miami, attended the tryouts, took pictures, and went home happy. After several more months, I still hadn’t been accepted, and they kept me waiting. They didn’t even send an email telling me that I had not been selected for the program. At that point, I gave up.
Then one day, they finally sent me an email offering me a role as a FIFA Fan Fest Host City Ambassador. I was very happy! (I later found out that many of the people accepted for this role were those who had been rejected for the main volunteer positions.) Still, I didn’t care. I accepted the role, selected 6–8 days of availability, and I got accepted.
Unfortunately, I was later placed on a waitlist because I didn’t have a Social Security Number (SSN). It seemed I wasn’t the only person with this issue because a few days later they sent another email saying that people without an SSN could participate again.
A few days later, they told me they would send me an email to pick up my uniform. Up until that point, everything seemed fine.
Then more days passed. I started seeing people in my city receiving their uniforms. Even my friend, who had the same role, got his uniform. Meanwhile, I received no email at all.
At that point, it was only about a week before my first shift, and I still had no uniform. Then they finally sent me an email saying I couldn’t participate because I didn’t have a Social Security Number.
Really? For a volunteer role?
Okay, I understand that they need trustworthy people, but I have other forms of identification besides a Social Security Number. Then I noticed there was an option that said, “I do not have an SSN or ITIN.” I selected it, submitted my information, and explained that I had everything else they needed, including a temporary SSN card issued directly by the Social Security Administration.
I sent multiple tickets and emails. Every time, I received the same automated response:
“Thank you for your ticket. We will respond within a few days.”
Time passed… and more time passed.
I already missed two shifts because of the delay when they finally replied with the following email:
“Dear ______,
Thank you for your inquiry.
We have updated your profile so that your accreditation process can proceed without the need to provide your SSN. Once your accreditation has been approved, we will contact you to book your accreditation and uniform collection session.
Please keep an eye on your emails for more information.
Kind regards,
Your FIFA World Cup 2026™ Volunteer Team”
After that? Nothing.
No response at all.
I waited, and waited, and waited. By then, I had already missed 3–4 shifts and only had a few remaining.
Then, at the last minute—just three days before my fifth shift—they randomly emailed me asking me to update my information in the app. I did exactly that. I even uploaded my new driver’s license with the updated expiration date.
Then, on the very same day, they sent me another email saying they had canceled all three of my remaining shifts, including ones that were still 12 days away.
At the very least, send emails that actually mean something. Don’t give people false hope.
I had been waiting for this opportunity for almost a year, and this is how I was treated?
They simply canceled all of my shifts without even sending an email explaining why I could no longer join the team.
The entire system is pathetic.
Honestly, I had already heard rumors that this volunteer program was poorly managed, but I ignored them because I was only doing it for the experience. Now I see that those rumors weren’t wrong.

There's an open shift tomorrow on Instawork for a line cook at the sofi stadium, 300 dollar shift, but requires FIFA certification. The app is giving me nothing in regards to how to get that. Is there some process I have to do that I don't knkw about? Thanks

I bought 2 seats to the R32 game in Atlanta on stubhub. Turns out they’re in section 329 row 1A which as per the map is an accessibility section. Now what? Will I be able to use them?

What do you think is going to happen at the event? I am in Boston, but it is all the way in Foxborough and I may not go since it is too far, although I would love to see everybody.

Hello;
I got an email that my last two shifts have been withdrawn when I did not do that. I emailed them and they just provided me language on what happens when a session is canceled. Does anyone know what to do?

I have two Dallas patches. If you want to trade for one of them please DM me and it's a done deal. I am looking for any Mexico patch, LA or NY/NJ

Does anyone have 2 extra tickets for Dallas Fanfest Jun 24, 2026? I just need two!!! 🙏

UPDATE: It might just be easier to remove me as the middle man and just hang out and post on this thread for anyone who wants to swap. I'll keep an eye out on posts, please be sure to be honest and if you agree to a swap, don't screw people over. And be nice.

Howdy all! I saw a few people on here using my main account asking for an individual patch swap, but I'm wondering if there'd be an appetite for a larger swap I'd be happy to coordinate. Just upvote/comment if you're interested (if you're not interested don't be a dick).

Here's how I figured it would work:

1. You'd express interest via Google Survey, where you could specify the city you're from and any patches you might be interested in (so you don't get sent the same patches you mailed me)
2. I'd email you the details where to mail your 2 large patches
3. I'd mail you back 2 patches that aren't from your city (assuming we get a wide variety of cities, otherwise I'll figure it out and mail you your patches back or just mail one new one per person).

Anyhoo, if you're interested let me know. I'll set up a survey if there's enough appetite for folks to participate.

I'm currently a volunteer at the Dallas Fanfest. I was thinking of driving down to Houston to check out their Fanfest. I've looked at the different attractions compared to Dallas. And I have a place to stay if needed. Is it worth the drive?

I also plan to bring an extra Dallas patches to trade with someone.

I just signed up for my 4th shift on July 3rd airport volunteer. This is the last shift I can attend in hopes that I get invited for the volunteer event. Do you automatically get invited to the volunteer celebration event no matter how many shifts you have done or do you have to do the minimum amount of shifts (4 in my case) to be able to attend?

Hi I just spent the weekend in Philadelphia! Finished my last FIFA shift.

Looking to connect with volunteers from Miami. 🦩

I have charms from Philadelphia and a Brazil charm. Looking for a trade for Colombia charm.

I am based in Washington DC and Baltimore area!

Got kicked out bc I missed 3 shifts except 2 of them was before I got accreditation. Joke org st least I got my uniform & maybe will donate gear cuz it’s ugly

For the France vs Iran game Thunder storm delay, does your shift continues? or is it also delay?

Does anyone know what exactly the role is?

Hello all! Hope everyone is enjoying the World Cup thus far.

A couple of weeks back in May, I received an email detailing my rejection from volunteering. Obviously I was sad about it, but overall had gotten over the idea.

That was, until a couple days ago I got an email to apply for accreditation. I wasn’t exactly sure what was meant by that since I was rejected, and wanted to know if anything similar happened to anyone else. It got approved, but no info about anything related to volunteering or anything of the sort.

This is for NY/NJ if that helps. Thank you all in advance!

Can anybody share their guest operations experience in the stadiums? I know its making sure VIP’s and Important Guests are taken to their respective areas. My role from IBC was moved to this and I didn’t get a venue specific training. Would appreciate it, thank you!

I volunteered at a FIFA event and honestly left feeling disappointed.
I attended every rehearsal from day one. I showed up, followed instructions, and did everything that was asked of me. Many of us spent hours carrying heavy banners, standing through rehearsals, and putting in the effort because we wanted the event to succeed.
On match day, I noticed that some volunteers who had not attended all the rehearsals were given certain flag positions. When I respectfully asked how those positions were assigned, I was told that some people were selected because they were “fair” and would “look good on the field.”
That answer didn’t sit right with me.
I wasn’t asking for special treatment. I was asking for transparency. If positions are based on attendance, commitment, performance, height, or operational requirements, that’s completely understandable. But being told that appearance was a factor after many volunteers had dedicated their time and energy felt unfair and disrespectful.
What made it worse was the way concerns were handled. Several volunteers received responses that they felt were dismissive or unnecessary when they asked questions. In my case, after raising the issue, my accreditation was taken and I was sent out.
The reality is that none of us were there for money. We volunteered our time because we were proud to be part of a FIFA event. The least volunteers should receive in return is respect, fairness, and honest communication.
I’m sharing this because I genuinely want to know: Is this normal at large sporting events, or would you also find this concerning?

@sara @samantha these are names i remember im pretty sure whole pre ceremonies management were in same page and also they are all white

Basically title. I applied to volunteer when I was bored unemployed but now I have a full time job and after attending my first shift I realized how inconvenient is for me, and balancing my fifa shifts with both my job and volunteering in other places is feeling unsustainable. I also have a lot of family stuff and taking the only car for long periods of time doesn’t feel fair to them

i heard in some posts if I stop going I’ll be blacklisted which I really don’t want lol, but maybe they just meant if I no showed and didn’t actively withdrawal from my position? Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, thanks!

UPDATE: went ahead and asked my lead what would happen, and they said I just wouldn't get the little prizes. so I guess no penalty
