Some of the duties for volunteers include to:
- Deal with accommodation and accreditation
- Handle arrivals and departures in train stations and airports
- Direct spectator flows
- Provide language assistance

Wouldn’t it be cool?
Ever since the news broke out, people have been excited to sign up for it. But here’s something that you should be aware of. You will have to pay and settle the flight arrangements as well as the accommodation during the event by yourself.
The requirements of being a volunteer have not been released as of date. However, you can look for it once they officially run the recruitment. An online portal will be set up in 2023.
