“We have an incredibly busy schedule between now and kick-off, and this presents numerous opportunities to gain new skills, meet new people and discover everything Qatar’s World Cup has to offer. We look forward to welcoming and working with all our volunteers, no matter their age, ability or where they are from.”

During Sunday’s launch event at the Four Seasons Doha, the SC unveiled the first 22 volunteers from countries across the region, including Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and Yemen. And within the hours of the launch, more than 25,000 (as we file this report) people signed up as volunteers via the registration platform www.seeyouin2022.qa.
Mead Al Emadi, the SC’s Community Engagement Manager, gave a presentation during the launch that included details on how to register as a volunteer.
Al Emadi said: “Qatar 2022 will not only be a landmark moment in the history of the Arab world, but also in the history of the FIFA World Cup. It presents a number of innovations, firsts and unique hosting concepts that will deliver one of the most memorable editions of the tournament ever. The opportunity to participate in such a tournament is unprecedented, and we really encourage all interested football fans and volunteers from around the world to join us on the road to 2022.”
The event also included a panel session, moderated by Abdullah Al Ghafri, and involving SC Ambassador Mohammed Saadon, Faisal Al Shanfari, from Oman and a member of the Arab Federation for Voluntary Activities, and Mohamed Essoussi, from Tunisia, who was a volunteer during the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ in Russia.
During the panel, Saadon called on people across the region to take advantage of this unique opportunity, while both Al Shanfari and Essoussi discussed the benefits of volunteering.
