Delaware man selected to volunteer at FIFA World Cup 2026

Mike Logothetis from Delaware has been chosen as one of 3,000 volunteers for the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Philadelphia, out of a pool of 26,000 applicants. He will participate in pre-match ceremonies, carrying flags onto the field during matches at Lincoln Financial Field. His first official duty takes place on June 14 for a match between Côte d'Ivoire and Ecuador, noted for its special connection to Côte d'Ivoire's team base in Wilmington. Volunteers like Logothetis will work six-hour shifts across the tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19. The revamped pre-match format includes players entering through a designated arch, an approach that differs from previous World Cups.
