Last chance for the Bangladeshi community
to join AFC Women’s Asian Cup Volunteer Program

Applications for the Volunteer Program for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ will close on Friday 3 October and Bangladeshi 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.

Abdul Ratan Khan
Sydney-based entrepreneur, Abdul Ratan Khan, Founder and President of the Australia Bangladesh Business Forum (ABBF) has been appointed as the Bangladesh Community Captain for the program and feels it is a great opportunity.

“I am truly proud to be representing my country, Bangladesh, 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.” Abdul said.

Captain Tahseen Ali
Captain Tahseen Ali, President of Bangladesh Association in Brisbane Inc., also expressed his excitement in being selected as the second Volunteer Captain for Bangladesh hoping to inspire the Bangladesh community in Brisbane and Gold Coast to visit Perth and Sydney for the matches.

“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 Capt. Tahseen.

Both leaders represent one of the fast-growing diaspora communities in Australia.

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.

Volunteers will need to be a minimum of 16 years old, and no previous experience is necessary – just enthusiasm, reliability and a team-first attitude.

Australia has a proud tradition of volunteers stepping up to deliver iconic events – from the Sydney 2000 Olympics to the recent FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ will carry that legacy forward and once again show the world the passion, pride and power of people coming together that define major events in this country.

Join the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™Volunteer team and be a key part of a celebration of Asian football!
