The FIFA World Cup is a global competition where national soccer teams compete for the trophy. This year, the event takes place between November and December 2022. Over 4 weeks and 64 matches, 32 teams will compete at 8 venues in Qatar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Soccer superstars from around the globe will be showcasing their incredible skill to over 200,000 live spectators and billions more fans who will be tuning in to watch on television.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever wondered what some of your favorite soccer players would be getting up to if they weren\u2019t playing the beautiful game? We profile 10 players who have the attributes for another career, or who\u2019ve actually had another job before playing full-time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Age:<\/b> 23<\/span><\/p>\n

Position: <\/b>Forward<\/span><\/p>\n

Team: <\/b>France<\/span><\/p>\n

Potential future career: <\/b>Zookeeper<\/span><\/p>\n

Potential salary: <\/b>$92,902<\/span><\/p>\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 made his mark in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, becoming the youngest French player to score at the tournament, and only the second-ever teenager, after Pel\u00e9, to get a goal in a world cup final.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that he will be a player to watch in Qatar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At just 23, and with an estimated net worth of over $150 million let’s face it, he never has to work again. But as the official \u201cgodfather\u201d of twin pandas born in a French zoo last year, perhaps a career as a zookeeper is for him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It would be a job where he has to get his hands dirty – preparing food, keeping things clean, and looking after the animals\u2019 health. It\u2019s hard work for a below-national-average salary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
