Kevin Hart is stepping onto the pitch to turn one lucky soccer fan's wildest dream into reality — and the payoff is as big as the game itself. Partnering with Michelob ULTRA, the comedian is hyping up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a $90,000 gig tied directly to the FIFA World Cup 2026 final.
Michelob ULTRA is now accepting applications for its "Chief Trophy Officer" position, tasking one passionate fan with the honor of delivering the Superior Player of the Match trophy during the World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, July 19.
"This really might be the best job in the world. I mean, it's so good, I even tried applying for it!" Hart joked in a press release. "To go from being a fan watching at home to end up at the FIFA World Cup 2026 final match is something most people can only wish for. I'm excited to partner with Michelob ULTRA to give that one lucky fan the opportunity of a lifetime."
The role is tailor-made for someone who thrives under pressure and lives for the beautiful game. Responsibilities center around presenting one of the tournament's most prestigious honors on one of soccer's biggest stages — a moment that will be etched in sports history.
And the perks? They're game-changing. The winner will pocket $90,000 for just 90 minutes of work, score two tickets to the World Cup final, and gain exclusive access to one of the most anticipated sporting events on the planet. Candidates must be available on July 19, when the final kicks off.
Think you've got what it takes? The application process is quick but competitive. Fans 21 and older can apply by submitting a 90-second video explaining why they're the perfect fit for the role. Upload your entry directly via Michelob ULTRA's website or post it on social media by tagging @MichelobULTRA with #ULTRACTO and #contest.
Adding even more star power to the campaign, Lionel Messi is also on board, helping reveal the newly designed Superior Player of the Match trophy ahead of the tournament. Crafted in collaboration with acclaimed artist Victor Solomon, the trophy blends tradition with modern artistry — featuring a satin-finished aluminum structure with a 26-degree angle, honoring the year of the World Cup.
Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love the thrill of the game, this is your shot to go from the stands to the spotlight. And with Kevin Hart cheering you on, the journey might just be as legendary as the destination.
