Volunteering for the World Cup comes with fun perks: exclusive uniforms, rewards items, skill development and lasting friendships.

FIFA estimates 6.5 million fans will attend the World Cup, with 3.7 million attending games in the U.S., 1.5 million in Mexico and 1.3 million in Canada. The 2022 final with Lionel Messi leading Argentina past Kylian Mbappé and France, drew a record 1.42 billion viewers, including 26 million in the U.S.

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.

If you've ever dreamed of being part of the World Cup, now's your chance. Applications to volunteer for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Texas are now open. World Cup Organizing Committee Co-Chairs Dan Hunt and Nina Vaca are excited for what the 2026 games will bring.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to bring a couple million people from around the world to the greater New England area, and with all those soccer fans, FIFA is looking for some help.

Applications to volunteer for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be held in North Texas, are set to open on Monday.
