This was my first tournament working as a Marketing Venue Manager for FIFA.
Something I wanted for a long time; to be involved in such an event from the rights holder’s site.
 
This opportunity actually came by coincidence.
It was partly because of the Netherlands not qualifying for the World Cup. Because I often travel as a fan to the final tournaments.
 
When they hadn’t qualified, I thought ‘in that case, I could also try to go and work there’.
 
And so it happened.
I sent out a few messages (or it might just have been one…not something I’d recommend now, but it worked😅) and I was given the opportunity to work for FIFA.
 
It wasn’t my first World Cup; it was the first from right holder’s site.
 
Since the most asked question here on LinkedIn is how I got into the world of sports events and work for clients as FIFA & UEFA, I decided to go international with my podcast.

I’ve recorded a podcast about my 10 best tips for people who want to work in the sports business.

The podcast’s main topic will be Feminine Leadership but….it will be interesting for men too (and this episode definitely)😉
