• Unsual job in the USA
• The experience is presented as an interactive showcase in Times Square, New York

A sports channel, in collaboration with a recruitment platform, has launched a job described as “the best in America this summer,” offering a $50,000 salary for a non-traditional role that involves watching all upcoming World Cup football matches.

According to the announcement, only one person will be selected for the position titled “World Cup Viewing Officer,” tasked with watching all 104 matches from inside a specially designed glass capsule located in the heart of New York’s Times Square.

In addition to following the matches minute by minute, the selected candidate will be required to produce and share digital content across social media platforms, turning the experience into a live interactive showcase for passersby and tourists in the iconic square.

Organizers described the role as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” emphasizing that it is aimed at a single passionate football fan.

The winner is set to be announced on June 6, ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the largest edition in the tournament’s history with 48 teams, taking place from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
