\nThe Japan Rugby 2019 organizing committee on Monday launched „Team No-Side“\u2013 the official volunteer program for the 2019 Rugby World Cup. „Team\u00a0No-Side“ will be made up of 10,000 volunteers across 12 host cities who will be the faces of the tournament, showcasing rugby\u2019s values and Japan\u2019s world-famous welcome at Asia\u2019s first Rugby World Cup.
Team No-Side: Meaning of the name
Rugby World Cup 2019 provides a golden opportunity to showcase rugby and its character-building values to a new audience in Japan, while welcoming the world with a „strong Nippon,“ Japan\u2019s famous hospitality. „No-side“ is a rugby term that resonates in Japan. The term was used by referees to essentially signify the end of a rugby match and „No-Side“ became a symbol of respect, hospitality and solidarity – no matter how fiercely the battle had been fought on the field, both teams show gratitude to one another, promising to become life-long friends, once the match was over. The objective of the volunteers is to embody the spirit as nurtured and developed with care by Japanese rugby over the years, to help communicate across the seas this notion to see the world as one and ultimately to pave the way for Rugby World Cup\u2019s success.
Recruitment schedule (provisional)
Volunteers will play a key role in the delivery of the six-week tournament with a range of roles, and in line with the tournament vision, Team No-Side will connect with fans, create unforgettable experiences and go forward to deliver an exceptional Rugby World Cup for all.
Recruitment will begin on 23 April through an online application process with the programme featuring a dedicated interview process followed by comprehensive training for successful candidates. Further details will be announced at the launch in April.
