First, a HUGE thank-you to everyone who has traded with me so far. Between volunteers, collectors, and some seriously generous people, i’ve been able to get my collections very close to complete. ❤️

I’m making one last push for a few badges that seem to be hiding

🇲🇽** THE BIG TWO
Guadalajara
Monterrey

I’m looking for both for myself and a friend, my friend is also still hunting for Los Angeles 🇺🇸.

I have several things available to trade and I’m happy to build a package depending on what you’re looking for:

• 🇨🇦 Toronto volunteer patch
• 🇨🇦 Toronto sticker
• 🇺🇸 Dallas Large patch
• 🇺🇸 Dallas Small patch
• 🇺🇸 Dallas sticker
• 🏦 Bank of America FIFA mascot/country charm bracelet

Open to creative trade combinations and happy to sweeten the deal for the right badge!

If Guadalajara, Monterrey, or LA is sitting in your collection waiting for a new home, I’d love to hear from you. 😊

We’re so close now — don’t make us chase these things forever! 😂⚽🌎

Thanks again to everyone who’s helped us along the way! 🙌

Looking to trade either size for other city patches or media pins ONLY.

Please reply with what you have to trade and then I will DM you.

Thanks!

I have small and large SFBA patches to trade. Hmu

Looking for small KC, small CDMX, small GDL, large GDL.

Could be open to other cities.

We all know LA hates giving their patches away, and Mexico has been in high demand as well.

So in contrast, what city have you guys had the easiest time to find people wanting to trade?

Hey everyone! I know it’s been a couple of weeks since the WC wrapped up, but I’m still feeling a bit of FOMO after seeing how amazing the whole experience was. 😅

I had applied to volunteer, completed all the required documents and online assessments, and was really hoping to make it through to the next stage. I never ended up getting invited to tryouts, though.

I actually emailed FV to check whether I was still in the running, and they confirmed that I was, only to receive a rejection back in April. 😭

For those of you who did get selected, I’d love to hear about your experience!
What do you think helped you stand out during the application process? Did you have previous volunteering or event experience?
Is there anything you wish you had done differently when applying?
Are there particular skills or certifications that event organizers seem to value?
How far in advance should I start preparing for the next big opportunity?
And most importantly, what upcoming major sporting events should I be keeping an eye on for volunteer opportunities?

I’d really love to get involved in something like this in the future, so any advice from people who have successfully volunteered at major sporting events would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

I know everyone and their uncle is searching for the LA FIFA patch, but thought I would give this a go. Looking for an LA and Philly patch to complete my collection. 😢 I have one large Toronto and one large Mexico city to trade. I live in Canada so it's easier to send to the states. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕
