FIFA World Cup Opportunity

Positive Athlete is proud to announce an exclusive national opportunity for our nominees, alumni, athletic directors, coaches, and school partners. Through our collaboration with FIFA World Cup 26™, we have secured a priority consideration access code for once-in-a-lifetime volunteer roles at the world’s largest sporting event.

Our access code works in all 16 host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It ensures our Positive Athlete community has priority consideration to be part of the action when the World Cup arrives in 2026. We encourage interested athletes, alumni, and school staff to apply immediately to secure their place before the application window closes. Applications are recommended to be turned in by September 30, 2025

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the Positive Athlete community. Volunteers will play a direct role in welcoming the world and representing Positive Athlete on a global stage during FIFA World Cup 26. Beyond the immediate impact, this opportunity may also open doors to paid roles at the FIFA Fan Festival in the next six to eight months, making it an even more meaningful pathway for those who get involved.

This volunteer pathway is not only a chance to be part of a once in a lifetime global event, it is also an experience that adds real weight to a resume or college application. Serving at the FIFA World Cup 26 places students in a highly connected environment where they will meet people from around the world, gain hands-on event experience, and practice skills like teamwork, adaptability, and leadership that employers and schools value most. Positive Athlete is committed to preparing young people for life after sports, and opportunities like this are designed to strengthen career readiness while opening doors to conversations and connections that may shape their future. You never know who will be in the room to talk to and learn from.
