• Collaborate with editors and other contributors to ensure consistency, quality, and originality across all content.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong understanding of editorial norms and content structure (tone, clarity, deadlines).
• Basic knowledge of SEO best practices.
• Excellent command of written French (native‑level).
• Working knowledge of another language (English, Spanish, or Italian is a plus).
• Basic understanding of how to use football data and statistics to enrich articles.

What We Offer
