The World Cup Job: Get Paid 61 Lakh BDT to Watch Every Match

Attending a World Cup usually comes with a hefty price tag—flights, tickets, and accommodation can burn a hole in any fan's pocket. However, a dream opportunity has emerged for one lucky football enthusiast: getting paid a small fortune to watch every single match.

Fox Sports, in collaboration with the job site Indeed, is searching for a "Chief World Cup Watcher" for the upcoming tournament. This position, described as the "best summer job in the market," offers a staggering salary of $50,000 USD (approximately 61 lakh BDT).

The selected candidate won't just be watching from their couch. They will be stationed in a specially designed, glass-walled studio in the heart of New York City's Times Square. From this "Glass Cube," the fan will watch all 104 matches of the tournament.

According to Reuters, the role requires watching every moment of the World Cup via Fox Sports’ official streaming platform. In addition to being a spectator, the hire will act as a content creator, sharing updates on social media and turning the public viewing into a "Live Watch Party" for the thousands of tourists and pedestrians passing through Times Square.

How to Apply
"This is truly the ultimate summer job," the organizers stated in a press release. "We are looking for one 'super-fan' ready for the experience of a lifetime."

Interested fans can apply for the position through Indeed. The winner will be officially announced on June 6 during the broadcast of the Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees baseball game on Fox.

The upcoming World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, kicks off on June 11. This edition marks a historic milestone as the largest tournament in history, featuring 48 teams for the first time.
