Next summer will see the Women’s European Championship taking place in England – and UEFA are looking for volunteers to add to their 1,500-strong workforce.
In July, Euro 2022 matches will take place in London, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton, Brighton, Milton Keynes, Rotherham and Leigh.
UEFA seek 150 volunteers to assist matchgoing fans in each of those eight towns and cities. Each host city will have volunteers carrying out roles in the city centres, fan zones and transport hubs.
