Around 20,000 would-be volunteers have offered their services for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, leaving organisers confident they will find the 15,000 they need to help out at the tournament. "We're happy with the massive interest and we are also pleased with the quality of the applicants to date. A lot of young people with languages have applied, as well as highly qualified older football fans with much work experience," said Theo Zwangiger, vice-president of the World Cup's organising committee. Organisers said a man born in 1927 was the oldest person to apply.
