FIFA has officially opened registrations for volunteers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted across 16 cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The organization is seeking a record 65,000 unpaid volunteers to support tournament operations. These volunteers will be required to complete nine shifts, each lasting between six to eight hours, and must have proficiency in English. The tournament will feature 48 national teams competing over six weeks. Volunteer opportunities offer a chance to experience the event from within, including access to host cities and behind-the-scenes exposure to FIFA's organization. The recruitment drive is underway in multiple locations, including Massachusetts, Boston, Foxboro, and Toronto, with the goal of assembling a large support staff for the event scheduled for next summer.
