Texas Residents Can Help Welcome the World for FIFA World Cup 2026
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The biggest sporting event on the planet is heading to North Texas, and Texas residents have a front-row seat to history in the making. The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will bring nine matches to the region, creating an unprecedented opportunity for local volunteers to play a vital role in welcoming the world to their backyard.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

The World Cup represents more than just soccer matches—it’s a celebration that brings together people from every corner of the globe. For Arlington residents, this means a chance to be cultural ambassadors, helping create lasting memories for visitors while showcasing the warmth and hospitality that defines North Texas.

Thousands of volunteers will be essential to the tournament’s success, supporting not only the nine match days but also the numerous events and activities leading up to the games. From assisting international visitors to supporting event logistics, volunteers will be the friendly faces that help make the World Cup experience magical for everyone involved.

How to Get Involved

Getting started is straightforward, though organizers emphasize that early registration shows commitment and enthusiasm. Interested volunteers can register their interest now through August 2025 by joining the FIFA Volunteer Community.

The requirements are accessible to most residents:

  • Must be at least 18 years old at the time of application
  • English proficiency required (additional languages are definitely welcomed)
  • Availability for up to nine shifts between June 11 and July 19, 2026

Volunteers should also be prepared for a background check and mandatory training, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for their roles.

Timeline for Participation

The volunteer selection process is designed to give everyone ample time to prepare:

Now through August 2025: Expression of interest period. Residents can complete forms indicating where they’d like to volunteer during the tournament.

August 2025: Official application period begins, allowing for more detailed applications and role preferences.

Fall 2025: Interview and group recruitment events take place, giving organizers a chance to match volunteers with appropriate roles.

Early 2026: Volunteer role offers are extended, allowing selected participants to begin final preparations.

A Global Stage for Local Pride

This volunteer opportunity represents more than community service—it’s a chance for Arlington residents to represent their city and region on an international stage. The World Cup brings media attention and visitors from around the world, making every volunteer interaction an opportunity to showcase the best of North Texas hospitality.

The experience promises to be transformative for volunteers as well. Working alongside people from different cultures, supporting a global celebration, and being part of soccer history creates memories and connections that last long after the final whistle.

Beyond the Games

While the nine matches will certainly be highlights, volunteer opportunities extend throughout the tournament period. Pre-tournament events, cultural celebrations, and community activities all require support, offering various ways for volunteers to contribute based on their interests and availability.

The extended timeframe also means volunteers can choose their level of involvement, whether participating in a few shifts or embracing the full tournament experience.

Ready to Join the Team?

For Arlington residents ready to be part of this historic event, the first step is simple: visit dallasfwc26.com/volunteer to complete the expression of interest form. This initial registration ensures you’ll receive updates about volunteer roles and requirements as the tournament approaches.

The FIFA World Cup comes to a host city once in a generation, if at all. For Arlington residents, 2026 represents a unique opportunity to be part of something truly special—welcoming the world while celebrating the global game that unites people across all boundaries.

Whether you’re a soccer enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys helping others have great experiences, volunteering for the World Cup offers a chance to contribute to an event that will be remembered for decades to come.

The world is coming to North Texas. Arlington residents have the opportunity to help make sure it feels welcome.
