Imagine getting paid to watch soccer all summer long—sounds like a dream, right? Well, Fox Sports is making it a reality with their search for a“Chief World Cup Watcher.”This isn’t just any job; the lucky winner will pocket an impressive $50,000 while sitting in a custom glass cube in Times Square, New York City, and streaming all 104 matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup live.
Not only will you be immersed in every moment of the tournament, but you’ll also create engaging social media content as the crowds pass by. Picture this: thousands of curious tourists stopping to see you celebrate, shout, and enjoy the thrill of the game. Applications are open on Indeed, and the ultimate fan will be revealed during a baseball game on June 6. Who wouldn’t want to turn the summer into a massive watch party?
With the World Cup featuring 48 teams and spanning across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, this job is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, whether you’re a die-hard soccer fan or just in it for the spectacle, this gig could be the summer adventure you’ve been waiting for!
