What It Takes To Work in The Football Industry in Nigeria





Hello, were you as excited to go to work today as you were about watching your favorite team over the weekend? Well, you should be!

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” That’s not my saying, is Steve Jobs’,

I know work can be very stressful if for any reason you’re forced to work outside what you really love to do; outside your innate competence; outside your dreams. Otherwise, your job should be your leisure. If you get a job you love and so passionate about, then you can work 24 hours every day without feeling any qualms.

I know you love to work in the football industry, at least that’s why you are reading this article. Then be courageous. Do what it takes to have a job you are passionate about.


 The football industry is growing exponentially. Teams and clubs are hiring. If you want to be considered for any of the openings, then prepare yourself now.

Apart from being a footballer or coach, there are numerous jobs that move the industry. Do you want to be a club secretary, team medical officer, Psychologist or Legal officer?  May be, you love to be a Scout, an Agent, Sport Marketing and management officer or perhaps, a football presenter, commentator, journalist, media officer. Do you love to blow the whistle, a Referee or Match commissioner….?

I can think of a million reasons you should follow your dreams and work in a career you are passionate about. But there are just three things you need to start doing right away.

Get Trained: You need some education and training in the area of your interest. Today, there are courses you could take online right there in your home or while doing other jobs, you can take time out to attend lectures online. This is why I ask you to be courageous, because of the interference. At least you know what you are pursuing.

Develop Cognate Skills: Organizations hire people for positions that require specific skill set. To advance in any career you need to master it. Spend extra time and money getting better. If you love it, you will succeed faster in the field. Promotions go to the one who are enthusiastic about what they do.

Get Industry Connections: Who you know in the industry put your CV and proposals at the top of the pile. We want you to wake up in the morning excited to go to your job. But you have to know someone and you have to be trained, develop cognate skills before you can get hot and get all the recommendations you deserve.

It’ll be more like a mentorship program with veterans in the field. Don’t wait, the sooner you get started the faster you will have a career of your dream.
