The Brief
Unified Sports is assembling a young content team to cover the entire FIFA World Cup 2026 — every matchday, across 45 days. We're hiring two Social Media & Content Interns who eat, sleep, and breathe football and want to break into sports marketing by working the biggest tournament on earth.
This is a launchpad, not a classroom. You'll do real work, on real properties, at real pace. If you've ever watched a 2 AM thriller and instantly thought this needs to be a reel, this internship is built for you. We covered the 2022 World Cup, with over 90+ videos generated, 10k+ social growth in followers & a lot of fun!

- How to read the FIFA tournament, analyse & infer useful information & furthermore, how to present it to the audience - goes a long way in developing a career in football
- New systems, tools and processes - new skills
- Behind the camera - how to handle shoots and production - learn production and CMS

Who We're Looking For

- A fresher or student looking for a foot in the door — no prior professional experience required
