“Volunteers are the heart and soul and also the face - and the smile - of FIFA tournaments,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “Their passion, their smiles, their energy and positivity play an essential role in the success of every FIFA competition, contributing to the unique and unforgettable atmosphere in the host countries. Put simply, we would not be able to organize our tournaments without them.”
