Join the
Ledger.
We're looking for people who understand that football is a business. Curious minds. Clear thinkers. Structured writers.
The Ledger is built by volunteers who want a foothold in the business of football. You don't need a media background — just curiosity, rigour, and a point of view. Contributors come from a wide range of places:
Business & financial analysts
Consulting, finance, or professional backgrounds — people who turn a deal, a filing, or a capital move into a sharp, sourced argument.
University students
Students of business, economics, or law — learning from working professionals and sharpening their read of the game.
Industry insiders
People working inside football, sport, media, or investment who want to analyse the system from the inside, with first-hand evidence.
Ledger support
Researching and building articles across the nine layers of the ecosystem — from governance and ownership to media rights and matchday.
Regional coverage
Eyes on specific markets — MENA, the USA, LatAm, Asia — where the next cycle of capital is moving.
Social media
Turning published analysis into a clear, credible presence on X, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
The Record contributor
Helping shape The Record — the weekly companion to our long-form analysis.
Data & research
Supporting data gathering, modelling, and visual research that underpins our pieces.
The Ledger is analysis, not reporting: neutral, third-person, evidence-led. Every piece is a structural argument with named entities, specific numbers, and a forward-looking implication. If that is how you already think about the game, you will fit here.
Send a note and a sample of your writing, and tell us which lane fits you best. One-off pitches are welcome — if you have a structural argument and the evidence for it, send it.
