Dream job! Pair earn R$323k to watch the whole World Cup | OneFootball

Getting paid US$64,000 (about R$323,000) just to closely follow each of the 104 World Cup matches.

Well, there are two people who landed this "dream job"!

In partnership with the job site Indeed, the American channel Fox Sports offered this "job" to digital influencers Austin Franklin and Kevin Akoto, known for their TikTok content.

The duo won the selection process and took on the role of "World Cup Watch Chiefs."

How does the routine work?

The two influencers will face a 39-day stretch with a setup any soccer fan would envy:

The "Office": They are confined in a glass cube set up right in Times Square, New York.

Setup: The space is fully equipped with 4K televisions, comfortable armchairs, a stockpile of snacks, and even a reserved area to host friends.

Mission: Watch absolutely every match in the tournament and produce digital content to engage the broadcaster’s social media audience.

A change of plans in the selection process

The search for candidates began on May 5, requiring interested applicants to submit a short video through Indeed explaining why they deserved the position, as well as proving experience in content production and reporting.

Fox Sports’ initial plan was to hire only one person. However, due to the strong public appeal and the duo’s talent, the company’s marketing director, Brian Borkowski, confirmed that the broadcaster changed its strategy and decided to hire both of them to work together during the World Cup.
