World Cup Fan Job Pays $90,000 for One Trophy Presentation
Miclub, the American beer company that presents the World Cup’s post-match MVP award, has advertised a dream gig for one fan. The winner will be chosen to hand the match trophy to the best player in the final, in a job titled “Most Valuable Player Trophy Officer.”
The fan selected for the role must attend the World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, and will receive two free tickets. For that one 90-minute duty, the company says it will pay $90,000, effectively $1,000 per minute.
The trophy itself was designed by artist Victor Solomon, who has created numerous sports trophies, including the NBA championship trophy named after Larry O’Brien. The article says the trophy’s value has not been disclosed.
The piece notes that this is not the first high-paying World Cup-related promotion. Fox recently offered $50,000 to a fan willing to watch every World Cup match over 39 days and create content for the broadcaster’s social media and platforms. The article frames both offers as examples of the large sums surrounding the tournament, where even off-field roles can become lucrative.
