We got, by the way, this process was pretty intense.

The interview process, there was a, you know, the 10 screening process and a face-to-face process.

I think FIFA has got this part pretty muddied up.

I think we landed on just around 6,000 total.

So that'll be coverage from everything from, from stadium to, to, to media, to fan fest everywhere.

Yeah.

in between.

That's a major part of the tournament for FIFA is the volunteer program.

They do a really good job on that.

And, you know, I think, again, you got to think of all these people coming in, different languages, different cultures.

Do you tip?

Do you not tip?

It's all these little nuances that you got to think through that we probably aren't accustomed to in the U.S.

when you got a big 12 tournament going on and it's, you know, Nebraska and

uh or oklahoma coming in but i think for argentina for netherlands there's all these cultural nuances and i think they've got all that programmed into the volunteer program okay that's good to know when do the teams uh actually touch down in kansas city yeah the teams that are making this a base camp i mean yeah i think a minimum requirement is i think five days before their first match i think we don't we don't have exact dates yet i think we're hearing most will probably be in the seven to ten date range out from their first

So if you're Argentina on, what is their first, I think it's June 16th is their match, you know, call it probably seven to 10 days before that, but it's ultimately five days is the minimum.

So the teams are still working through that.

Yeah, I mean, security is a huge factor, right?

And I think you got, you know, with the marquee players in these countries coming in, you would expect that to be the case, right?

So, you know, my kids think they're training with Messi when he's in town.
