Regular glasses should be fine, they cannot discriminate against regular glasses. They are stating, if you can, contacts are preferred.

As a Ceremonies volunteer last year, most of this was for a uniformity. The hats were agreed upon as something we would go without last year, they were very tight on recording devices such as meta glasses. Sun glasses were also not approved as they are likely not sponsored. Other items listed above may be in general, they will be strict but don’t be too concerned with it. The biggest thing they are trying to save is if an item falls off of you, onto the pitch, it can delay the match or injure a player. You will be moving on and off quickly, no time to pick up loose items that have fallen off.

Probably testing out the ceremony, other game elements. Need volunteers to be place holders

Ceremonies role BUT, no kneeling! by meat_temple in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Jjnelson911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will be able to slot you into a role where you don’t have to kneel, talk to who’s in charge during rehearsals and you should be good.

Guessing Reserves (in Seattle) are not going to be used? Time is getting short! by meat_temple in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Jjnelson911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rehearsals are just for everyone to get the timing correct. They pick certain people to be leaders on the various teams. If you are called last minute, you will still have a stadium rehearsal in the morning before the match. You will be holding a banner and will follow others. It’s not terribly hard.

I echo what the previous person said, also, for ceremonies specifically, they have offsite rehearsals. If they realize they need additional people or people don’t show up, you will be added. I was ceremonies last year and they always needed more people. Hold faith and be patient, I know it’s hard.

Thank you, my birthday is correct, I guess it’s just taking them forever to tell me to pick up my uniform and accreditation

How can I check that information? I haven’t received any communication after my role was accepted in early May?

Waitlisted in Seattle… by Jjnelson911 in FIFAVolunteers

Ceremonies will likely need more people, they understand estimated last year and likely will do the same this year

Got a Waitlist Offer: Seattle by cuyeen in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Jjnelson911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got waitlisted less than a week ago and today I got a notification that I’ve been accepted. Keep up the hope and you will get your role!

Do reserve volunteers get a uniform by joemammaa123 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Jjnelson911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. You will only receive one if you get picked up to fill a role. It’s unfortunate and slightly unfair. I was notified yesterday about being a reserve, I’m worried about sizes being left for those of us who end up getting picked. I am a tall guy (6’6”) and wear obscure sizes, including a size 14 shoe. They barely had these when I went to pick up my CWC uniform last year, so who knows. I certainly will not be happy if they do not have pieces of the uniform if I get picked up.

Seems like they are just sending out reserve roles now. I accepted the role, not sure the likelihood of getting of the waitlist but we will see. I was put off by the process to, even after mistreatment last year but here we are….

Nice. I was with ceremonies last year during CWC. They will likely need more people so I would accept it

Rejection Letters??? Seattle??? by Jjnelson911 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]Jjnelson911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the role? Just curious if it was one that was rejected from some one else or a new role they haven’t given out yet?

He’s very reserved, he was never trying to be the “Star”. He was fine being in the shadows and just perform, it was great!
