People in Qatar are being encouraged to volunteer for the FIFA Arab Cup 2021, which will take place later this year.
The tournament organisers – FIFA, the Qatar Football Association, Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) and FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 LLC – are looking for enthusiastic people aged 18 years and above to support a range of operations, including spectator services, hospitality, broadcasting and media, among others, the SC said in a statement.
Volunteers will receive full training, tournament accreditation and a branded uniform. During their shifts, they will be entitled to a meal and use of public transport.
Volunteers must be fluent in English, with fluency in Arabic considered an advantage. They must be available for a minimum of eight shifts, lasting approximately eight hours each, spread across weekdays and weekends during the tournament, which will culminate on December 18.
Rasha al-Qarni, the SC’s Human Resources executive director, said: “We are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated people to support the staging of this historic event. Volunteers are a key part of any tournament – they help create an exciting atmosphere through their engagement with thousands of fans. In addition, volunteers gain valuable experience and develop new skills – all while meeting like-minded people and helping Qatar to deliver a global event, which will significantly help the country finalise preparations for the World Cup next year.”
Al-Qarni continued: “This is a great opportunity to be part of an international tournament and increase your chances of being chosen as a volunteer for next year’s FIFA World Cup.”
Twenty-three teams from across the Arab world will take part in the FIFA Arab Cup, with the tournament seen as a vital opportunity for Qatar to test operations and facilities ahead of the World Cup. Matches will be held at six Qatar 2022 stadiums.
