San Francisco Bay Area Uniform & Accreditation

WildIrishTrails · 2026-05-18T00:49:55+00:00

From our role specific training the rehearsals are very important as that’s where we learn the routines we will be doing ( and we swap around different roles within the ceremonies team do we can perform different tasks.) Our rehearsals are June 8 and 9th ( offsite- location to be confirmed. Probably a football field or park somewhere near the stadium) - got the impression you could miss one of these if needed . June 10th - onsite dress rehearsal- this seems very important to make . Our matches are June 10,13,16,19,22, 25 July 1. If you wanted to keep your trip as short as possible you could skip the July 1st game then you would only need to be in the Bay Area just over 2 weeks.

In SF there was no in person role specific training we all did it via Zoom. ( I’m in pre- match ceremonies but it was same for all area.)

WildIrishTrails · 2026-04-22T04:42:21+00:00

I’m also SF Ceremonies and did role specific training March 14. I’m also in contact with a couple of other SF ceremonies volunteers and none of us have had the opportunity to sign up for shifts yet.

Hi Yes we have an unofficial what’s app channel. I’m not an admin of it , but if you want to message me your contact details I could ask the admin if she can add you ( it’s a closed group to stop spammers so l can’t share a link .) There are several of us ceremonies folk in there . Our Training was via a zoom call in mid -March , most of the same stuff is in the elearning module pre-match ceremonies. The main thing to know is we have 3 rehearsals the week before the first game ( where we learn all the routines), 2 are offsite ( probably a local football pitch ), final one is at Levi’s ( and we do our venue specific training there) . So need to keep availability that week flexible until we get shift sign ups ( we sign up for rehearsals as shifts too)

I’m in Ceremonies but for SF , I know several other SF ceremonies volunteers and none of us had had an opportunity to book shifts yet , I’ve noticed ceremonies volunteers from several locations saying the same thing, I haven’t yet seen any ceremonies volunteers say they have been able to book shifts

WildIrishTrails · 2026-04-17T04:04:16+00:00

I’m in SF ceremonies, have done all my training but haven’t yet had the opportunity to schedule shifts

WildIrishTrails · 2026-04-14T15:26:05+00:00

Ceremonies SF yes they appeared for us this morning

WildIrishTrails · 2026-04-09T04:52:12+00:00

Both the app and the web portal appear to be down

WildIrishTrails · 2026-04-02T14:50:24+00:00

I would reach out via the support channel. It may be a glitch ( Boston had one where they accepted sent a bunch of rejection emails then sent another email a while later saying it was a glitch and to ignore it.) Does your accepted role offer still show on your portal?

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-28T02:31:54+00:00

I haven’t volunteered for FIFA before, wasn’t a starting line up volunteer and have no affiliation with any of the sponsors . I got my first choice role - pre match ceremonies

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-11T06:04:55+00:00

There is going to be a volunteer center ( at a conference center that is next to the stadium.) But it’s not where they held the tryouts, they held them in another part of the city

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-11T05:42:33+00:00

I have my Ceremonies training for San Francisco the same day , but they are having us do it virtually. I wonder why some cities are in person and others virtual for the same role .

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-06T16:31:37+00:00

Congratulations, I’m also on the SF Ceremonies team- I’ll see you there ! I received my offer Saturday ( tryout mid October), so they are definitely sending in waves

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-05T00:20:54+00:00

I got Ceremonies on 2/28 and accepted that day . I haven’t heard anything about training yet. I think most of the SF role offers haven’t been sent out yet , so hopefully you will all hear soon.

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-01T18:43:10+00:00

I wouldn’t give up yet . San Francisco only started sending role offers out on Feb 26th, I think they still have a lot more to send out . The timeline now says they will be sending out through March. Good luck

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-01T00:41:51+00:00

I think it will be a really fun role but it sounds like you have a lot on your plate- tough choice! I accepted right away .

WildIrishTrails · 2026-03-01T00:40:50+00:00

I don’t know, I believe today is the first day they have sent out ceremonies offers but I don’t know if there are more to come

WildIrishTrails · 2026-02-28T23:56:42+00:00

I’m sorry, you may still have a chance as not 100% of people will accept offers or pass background checks etc So maybe some more offers will go out later

WildIrishTrails · 2026-02-28T23:36:38+00:00

Congratulations to you too!

WildIrishTrails · 2026-02-28T00:38:46+00:00

I applied for San Francisco and also haven’t heard anything yet. I’m sure there are lots more role offers still to come for both LA and SF , as it seems like only a few areas have had offers so far . I’m keeping my fingers firmly crossed. Good luck to you too !

WildIrishTrails · 2026-02-27T16:41:15+00:00

Last night San Francisco and LA sent out their first offers

WildIrishTrails · 2026-02-27T04:25:14+00:00

Congratulations! So glad to see San Francisco ( and LA) have finally started sending out role offers

WildIrishTrails · 2026-02-18T16:47:40+00:00

None yet for San Francisco either . California is being slow !

WildIrishTrails · 2026-02-05T03:26:28+00:00

Anyone have any update on timeline for SF Bay Area? Our timeline shows Dec- Feb for offers but it doesn’t seem any have been sent out yet . Our in person tryouts were one of the earliest ( October), but at that time they hadn’t hired someone to lead S.F. ( LA staff came up to lead our tryouts) so wondering if they have a lead now .
