DOHA: With less than 100 days to go until Qatar hosts the AFC Asian Cup, the local organizing committee has officially launched the tournament’s Volunteer Programme. About 6,000 volunteers will be recruited from inside Qatar to offer support across twenty functional areas.
Interested applicants will be able to submit their details through a dedicated portal at https://volunteer.asiancup2023.qa/login.
Volunteers must either be Qatari nationals or residents of Qatar and must be 18 years or older.
For Jassim Al Jassim, CEO of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023 Local Organizing Committee, the launch of the Volunteer Programme marks an important milestone for tournament organizers.
“Volunteers form the backbone of any major sporting event,” said the CEO. “The success of the Asian Cup will rely greatly on the tremendous skill set, enthusiasm and diversity that our volunteers will bring to the tournament.”
The volunteer recruitment center will be located at Lusail Stadium. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to the iconic stadium for face-to-face group interviews.
Once selected, applicants will go through a multifaceted training programme. This is followed by uniform distribution and beginning of their shifts, with some roles starting as early as December 1, 2023.
