This year's competition might be halfway over, but the job opportunities for you are just beginning. If you love soccer (or should we say football) and want to turn that love into a career, check out these opportunities at the 2011 Women's World Cup, the 2014 World Cup, and with some of the world's largest soccer organizations.
Soccer Jobs at the 2011 Women's World Cup
Mark your calendars: the Women's competition will be held June 26 - July 17, 2011 in Germany. The best way to get your foot in the door to this elite soccer world is to volunteer. Volunteers are responsible for a wide range of activities, including guest services, hospitality, IT and communication, logistics, marketing, transportation and more.
Volunteering will not only help you make contacts at FIFA, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association and the world's governing body for all things soccer, but the experience will look great on a resume. In addition, World Cup volunteers typically enjoy free refreshments, travel, and other perks during their service. For more information, visit the Fifa Women's World Cup volunteer page.
Like the Women's World Cup, the best way to get involved is to volunteer with FIFA, the organization that runs both events. The 2014 event will take place in Brazil, and the opportunities will be announced as soon as this year's World Cup ends. For more information, watch the 2014 World Cup website.
Soccer Careers with the UEFA
The Union des Associations Européennes de Football (UEFA) works to promote the game and develop unity and solidarity between the different Europe's different football associations. You don't have to bend it like Bechkahm to work for them; UEFA currently employs administrators, IT specialists, coaches, journalists, and translators who offer a variety of backgrounds and skill sets. For information on job opportunities with UEFA, visit their "work with us" page.
Kindergarten co-ed teams. Middle school travel leagues. Professional teams. In the United States, U.S. Soccer is the governing body that oversees all soccer teams, leagues and organizations in the States. Although soccer is still relatively new to many Americans, U.S. Soccer was founded in 1913 and was one of the first organizations to be associated with FIFA.

Soccer Jobs with Major League Soccer
Whether you root for the Chicago Fire, the New England Revolution, or the Kansas City Wizards, Major League Soccer (MLS) has the job of overseeing them all. MLS works to promote and support professional soccer clubs in the U.S. Check out the MLS jobs page, which not only features jobs at MLS, but also links to each team's individual job listings.
No soccer team in history has surpassed the achievements of Brazil soccer team, not even their fellow Latin American teams.
Many great records had already been lined up in their history vault. As the Brazilian team continues to plow the soccer field everyday, their feats continue to add up even more.
Here are some of the facts and trivia regarding the team's success:
Of all the soccer teams, Brazil is the most successful and the one and only team up to date that has participated in all the 18 World Cups since the team's beginning in the 1930's where they played a record of 92 matches, of it they won 64 games, draws 14 games and had lost 14 times only. Out of those games, they scored 201 goals, also a record. Aside from World Cup feats, they also held the record win in Confederations Cup together with France. They won two times in 1997 and 2005. The Brazilian U17 team has also set a record for winning three times in the U17 World Cup, won 2 out of 3 Panamerican Championship, a now defunct league held sometime in 1952 and 1960. The only national team that Brazil did not claim any victory is Norway. They were also the only team that had won World Cups in all continents that had been able to host the competition, except for Africa and Oceania, they were not able to host any World Cups.
Of all the seven national teams that had claimed World Cup victories, Brazil is the only team that had not won in their own home ground.
Every national team prospers everyday but it is fairly clear enough that Brazil soccer team is the trailblazer, others just follow. They were the trendsetter of the field and no one can refute it.
