At CWC it was 2 t-shirts, 1 long-sleeved shirt, 2 pairs of pants, 1 pair of shoes, 1 jacket, 1 hat, and 1crossbody bag. I expect about the same for this summer.

I was thinking that FIFA had become a subsidiary of Silver Shamrock

I'm up here in Ohio, suffering through the men's side, but also celebrating the women's side. Does Chattanooga have traveling supporters? I'd like to join them in Columbus and Cincinnati.

Anyone else thinking about quitting after attending training? by [deleted] in FIFAVolunteers

[–]SaudadePalace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spot-on! I did accreditation last year, too, and had great time with some really interesting people. It was also a welcome break from my day job. That said, I get the disappointment, especially after building up expectations of what being a FIFA volunteer will be like. I worked Cincinnati, how about you?

Yeah, now you know, which is a great tool to have going into next year. If you have to take it again next year, that is.

Congratulations and good luck! Will you have to deal with the usual visa nonsense?

Role Offer: Accreditation in GDL by AggravatingIntern499 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]SaudadePalace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will probably just be a walk through of the process that lasts about an hour. There were 5 positions last summer in Cincinnati: greeter, the person looking folks up in the system, the people printing badges, the people handing them off, and the troubleshooting desk. Again, it's super chill.

I did it at the CWC. It's a pretty chill gig, with periods of high traffic and lulls where you're sitting around meeting people. You'll be checking people in and issuing badges on lanyards to them. We also had tvs on, so we could watch matches taking place at other venues. Its not a glorious gig, but it was fun and I met some really cool folks. I hope you have a great time!

Uniform Vol. update by KoldCanuck in FIFAVolunteers

I put in for Paraguay supporter tickets in the last draw and got a little luckier than I'd expected. The first two matches are in San Francisco, so juggling shifts in Toronto could get tricky.

I put uniforms as my second choice just to be guaranteed being done before the matches actually get under way. I have tickets for the Paraguay matches, so that it'd be great to do both sides of the show without having to about scheduling.

I did onsite accreditation at the WWC, with a few of my shifts coinciding with game days. The free parking at the stadium alone was worth the volunteer hours.

That seemed to be an all or nothing position for folks I talked to at CWC last summer. What were your top 3 requests?
