Volunteers are the beating heart of every FIFA tournament, bringing energy, passion and commitment while helping to deliver a world-class experience for players, fans and all other participants. For the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027™, approximately 6,000 volunteers will be recruited to provide support across the tournament’s eight Host Cities: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and São Paulo.

From today, anyone who would like to be a member of this unique team can register their interest by joining the FIFA Volunteer Community at volunteer.fifa.com. Candidates must select the Host City where they wish to volunteer in order to receive exclusive updates, including a notification when volunteer applications for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 officially open in a few weeks. Those who are already members of the FIFA Volunteer Community can access the expression-of-interest form directly through their existing account.

In order to participate in the selection process, candidates must be: at least 18 years old at the time of the application; a Brazilian national or legally permitted to enter Brazil during the competition; and available to commit to a minimum number of volunteer shifts during the tournament’s operational period in June and July 2027.

The role of volunteers at FIFA events Volunteers bring energy and passion to every FIFA tournament, helping to ensure that each match is an unforgettable experience for fans from around the world. They also have the opportunity to connect with people from other cultures, build personal and professional networks and develop valuable new skills.

During the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027, volunteers will support more than 20 functional areas, including Media, Technology, Transport, Competition Management and Workforce Operations. There will be over 30 different volunteering roles across competition and non-competition venues, from stadiums to airports, training sites and hotels.

While volunteering is, by definition, unpaid, the more than two million people in FIFA’s volunteer community proudly donate their time to help deliver FIFA tournaments and events that unite the world through football. In return, they enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience, create lasting memories and become part of the team behind the biggest sporting events on the planet. Throughout the tournament, FIFA volunteers are assisted by experienced personnel and provided with meals during their shifts, a full adidas uniform and additional tokens of appreciation in recognition of their invaluable contribution. In 2014, more than 13,000 volunteers played a vital role during the FIFA World Cup™ across 12 Host Cities in Brazil. Their dedication showcased the country’s warmth and hospitality, earning widespread praise from fans, teams and other stakeholders from around the world.
