Company Description
Football Paradise is one of world football’s premier homes for long-form writing and storytelling in football. For almost two decades, we’ve treated football as culture, history, art and philosophy, not just sport. We believe in depth, narrative, and craft, and our community of over 250,000 readers rewards stories that linger long after the final whistle. If you think football is more than scores and transfers, you’ll feel at home here.
Role Description
We’re looking for India-based freelance writers who can conceive, research, and write world-class long-form essays on global football.
The ideal candidate will :
- Tell great stories : You can build compelling narratives with strong arcs, vivid scenes, and memorable voices. Storytelling is central to everything we do.
- Write an ambitious long-form : Comfortable producing 1,500–5,000+ word essays that blend football with history, culture, literature, philosophy, politics or economics.
- Research deeply : Skilled at digging into archives, data and literature; conducting interviews when needed; and synthesizing diverse sources into insightful narratives.
- Think globally : Passionate about European and international football, and able to frame stories for a worldwide audience.
- Collaborate with editors : Open to feedback and capable of refining drafts into polished, publishable work.
- Work independently : Organised, deadline-driven and able to manage projects without constant oversight.
- Bring experience (or potential) : Published long-form clips are preferred, but emerging writers with extraordinary potential are welcome. Formal journalistic training is a plus, not a requirement.
Themes and inspiration
To set expectations and spark ideas, here are some past Football Paradise features that blend football with broader themes :
