About this book

Do you dream of having a job in football? Whether you love to play football or just love the sport and the community, there are loads of different ways to get involved – and to build a career and earn money doing it. Just like the title says, this book introduces 50 different jobs in football that you could do, from journalist or social media manager to kit designer, groundskeeper or photographer – and loads more.

Although the focus of this book is specifically on football, a lot of the jobs included would also apply to lots of other sports too. Each job included has an interview with someone who does that job right now alongside details on what the job involves, things you might need to know to get the job, and even ways that you could get involved and get experience right now.

A really diverse range of jobs and of people are shown – and far beyond the types of jobs you might expect to see. Inspiring and affirming for young people, the book is easy to dip in and out of and has lots to explore and discover.
