Spanish La Liga Club Seeks New Players Through Football Job Portal

In an unprecedented move, a Spanish La Liga club has turned to FutbolJobs, a digital platform akin to LinkedIn but specifically tailored for the football industry, to scout for new talent. The unnamed club is currently in search of a fullback and a center-back to bolster their squad.

The job listing, posted by the top-flight Spanish team, clearly outlines their requirements. They are specifically looking for right-footed defenders with significant experience in Europe’s top two divisions and who have been actively competing in the current season.

The club has set forth several criteria for potential applicants:

• Technical and physical attributes suitable for La Liga competition
• Strong professional commitment and high-performance attitude
• Proven experience in first or second-tier European leagues
• Active participation in the current season

Interested candidates are required to submit a recent highlight video (3-5 minutes maximum) and provide a link to their updated Transfermarkt profile. The application deadline is set for February 3, 2025.

While the club remains anonymous, they assure that this is a genuine opportunity offering competitive wages. FutbolJobs has been gaining traction in the football world, with various teams, including those from Saudi Arabia, frequently posting opportunities for their lower divisions.

The platform also organizes events to showcase its members. Recently, it arranged a friendly match between some of its participants and Elche FC.

Valentín Botella Nicolás, the creator of FutbolJobs, described it as “a platform that allows football professionals to connect and communicate. It’s a pure employment portal. We don’t charge for transactions or act as agents; we simply provide the tool for connections.”

It remains to be seen whether this unconventional approach will result in a surprising signing for a top-tier Spanish football club.
