Applications for the Volunteer Program of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ will close on Friday 3 October and Indian community members are encouraged to apply for this unique opportunity.
The tournament will be hosted in Sydney, Perth and Gold Coast from March 1-21, 2026.
Sydney-based Sue Advani, a long-term community advocate after her service with SEVA International Inc, has been appointed as the Indian Community Captain for the program.
“I am truly proud to be representing my country, India, and sharing the rich opportunities that exist with volunteering for a major event like the Asian Cup. It’s a great experience, to build new skills, meet people and be part of one of the biggest sporting events ever held in Australia,” Sue said.
Dr. Ashis Roy, representing the Indian Society of Western Australia, also expressed his joy in being selected as the second Volunteer Captain for India, with two matches being held in Perth and representing one of the larger diaspora communities in Australia.
“I am delighted to be a part of the Volunteer program for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026, and I have been sharing the opportunities with my community. It’s a unique experience and all volunteers will receive a uniform, training and a certificate for the completion of their duties,” said Dr. Ashis Roy.
The event areas that volunteers will work in include media operations, team services, fan experience and accreditation.
With volunteers already signed up from all participating nations and more than 60 cultural heritages represented, the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ Volunteer Program is aiming to be the most diverse in Australian event history.
