FIFA World Cup freelance writer

I'll be attending the World Cup in South Africa and will be there for the duration of the tournament. I'll be attending seven games as a fan with a ticket package following the United States. The package includes all three group games -- England, Slovenia, Algeria -- and then a ticket to each round of the knockout stage. I'll continue to attend USA games for as far as the team advances in the knockout stage, but with a United States loss my ticket becomes valid for the victorious team's next game and I'll continue to follow the winner of each game I attend all the way through to the World Cup Final. Simply put, in addition to the three Group Stage matches, I'll be attending a game in the Round of 16, quarterfinal, semifinal and then ultimately attending the final in Johannesburg on July 11.

I graduated May 2009 from Penn State with a journalism degree. In the past year I've done a considerable amount of freelance work for newspapers, including game stories and features. There are loads of great feature story opportunities at the World Cup, and if interested contact Anthony at [email protected]. Resume and writing clips also available.
