Two Individuals Paid $50,000 Each to Watch All World Cup Matches

New York. The excitement of the Football World Cup is increasing day by day, with six matches being played daily until the end of the group stage. In such a busy schedule, watching all the matches regularly becomes a full-time job. For Kevin Akoto and Austin Franklin, this statement has proven to be absolutely true, as they are being paid a salary of $50,000 each for watching all 104 matches of the World Cup. It has been more than a week since they started working as Fox One's 'Chief World Cup Watchers'.

In the middle of New York's famous Times Square, a specially built glass room has been set up for them, where the general public and fans can observe them from outside. Inside the attractive room, there are comfortable chairs, a brown leather sofa, two large television screens, and a foosball table.
