Journalist and Translator Internship

Internship
Opportunity

Resultados de Fútbol has established itself as the largest sporting application in Spain with over 6
million unique visits per month. In 2013 es.besoccer.com was created after the app’s success,
which has now become one of the most visited Spanish footballing websites with over 5 million
views per month. The rapid growth meant that the company decided to expand its reach and in
2014 it created an English version of the application and website, and thus www.besoccer.com
was born. Over the last few years BeSoccer has been continuing to grow, with an average of
400,000 visitors per month.

We are looking for enthusiastic writers and translators to join our English department in Málaga,

Testimonial from previous students:

John Bridgen, University of Nottingham “I have worked here over the last 6 months as a
trainee journalist and I don’t know enough superlatives to say how amazing this internship has
been. If you love football, or even just like writing, this is the internship for you. It really feels like
a big family here (they have a ping-pong/foosball/huge arcade machine in the office) and there
are always socials with work, so I’ve picked up so much Spanish just from being around everyone.
My Spanish has improved so much over the last 6 months.”
Tom Smith, University of Newcastle “I am currently working as a trainee journalist at BeSoccer.
The experience so far has been great, I have been able to practice my Spanish by translating articles
and speaking to everyone at work. The office is great! There is a ping-pong table, table football and
pool table to help you relax and there are social events to get to know everyone at the company.
Malaga is an amazing city, the weather is great and the beach is ten minutes away! If you love football
and want to practice your Spanish, this is the internship for you.”
