"The economic impact that the 2026 World Cup will bring to the North Texas region, not just to Dallas, $1.5 to $2.1 billion," Vaca said. To make it all happen, FIFA needs more than 6,000 volunteers for the events in the Dallas area .

Philly plans to have at least 3,000 volunteers helping around key venues like the Linc, Lemon Hill and Philadelphia International Airport.

Applications are now open for the FIFA World Cup 26™ volunteer program, which aims to recruit approximately 65,000 volunteers to support the event across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
