Doha, Qatar: At the iconic Lusail Stadium, a steady flow of candidates make their way through the tunnels of the world-class facility to be interviewed for a role at two tournaments set to be hosted by Qatar later this year: the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025 and the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025.

More than 25,000 Qatar-based applicants have shown interest in being part of delivering the two events, which Qatar is set to host in November and December of this year. When the recruitment process is over, a total of 4,000 volunteers will be recruited to support across 20 different functional areas.

“The Qatar 2025 FIFA Volunteer Programme builds on the tremendous legacy created in Qatar through the hosting of mega sporting events. The success of each of these tournaments has been possible because of the devotion and tireless efforts of thousands of volunteers,” said Haya Al Noaimi, LOC Administration Executive Director.

Andhini Rahmayani, 25 years old, moved to Qatar four years ago from Indonesia to work in the country’s growing hospitality sector. Her decision to apply as a volunteer came from her desire to use her professional skillset in a manner that would give back to the community. 

“I look forward to using my skills in customer service to support guests and fans throughout these tournaments. I can’t wait to meet new people and learn about their cultures and be part of the U-17 World Cup that will feature my home country of Indonesia,” said Rahmayani.
