While we have a major tournament to be excited about this summer, our attention is also focused on FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 with England playing three matches this month to begin the bid for qualification.
The organising body are working with all potential participating nations on an exciting project that will bring together the ‘Fan Leaders’ from each country. The goal is to ensure that the voice of the supporters is clearly heard in the planning for the 2022 World Cup and supporters of all competing teams are invited before the qualification round has concluded.
We are looking for approximately 15-20 supporters, who are members of the current England Supporters Travel Club, to become our ‘Fan Leaders’.
As a Fan Leader you will become part of a community of fans from around the world that will be working towards delivering an amazing World Cup for the supporters in 2022. You will get to meet likeminded people through the fan engagement network and have exclusive access to bespoke content that you can own and share.
There will be opportunities for some Fan Leaders to travel to Qatar for football events or international football tournaments in advance of the World Cup - to learn more about the host country’s culture and traditions and see first-hand the progress and preparations for the tournament in 2022.
Who Could be a Fan Leader?
Men and women, over the age of 18, who meet the following criteria:
A Travel Club Member: Someone who is a member of the current England Supporters Travel Club.
Engaged in football: An attendee of England matches home and away and who is interested in travelling to FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.
Social Media Presence: Someone who actively engages in football conversation on social media.
Run, or are associated with, a supporter led movement or organisation: A member who is involved in a ‘supporter organisation’ for club or country.
If you meet some or all of the above criteria, and are interest in applying, then please fill out the application form before 6pm on Friday 19 March 2021.
We will select from between 15-20 supporters from all those who apply, based upon the required criteria, to be put forward to the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy in Qatar. They will then conduct a further assessment and interview process before selecting who the final ‘Fan Leaders’ are.
Good luck!
