If you’ve been looking forward to this summer’s World Cup and thought to yourself, “You know, I’d really like to watch every match in a public enclosure,” Fox Sports has just the job for you.
In a partnership with Indeed, Fox Sports — which has the English-language World Cup broadcast rights for the U.S. — announced on Tuesday that it would be hiring a “Chief World Cup Watcher” to be somewhat a part of its World Cup coverage.
Basically, the job requires the hire to watch all 104 matches in 4K on the Fox One streaming platform while hanging out in a “custom-built viewing space amidst thousands of daily visitors, tourists and commuters in the heart of Times Square.”
This job will pay a salary of $50,000.
