<p>Turn passion into business. Bring Stranger Soccer to Oman.</p>
<p>What if you could take something you love—football—and turn it into a sustainable, growing business? At Stranger Soccer, that’s exactly what we’ve made possible.</p>
<p>We’re expanding our unique football experience platform to new cities, and we’re looking for a license owner / operator in Oman to take the reins. This is not a traditional role — it is designed for individuals who understand football culture, thrive on building something meaningful, and are ready to own and operate their own venture with the support of a proven global brand.</p>

<h4>How it works</h4>

Born in Singapore, Stranger Soccer is now open in 10+ cities around the world, with over 100,000 games run. Our model is built for scale — and we’re ready to bring it to Oman.</p>
<h4>Who we’re looking for</h4>
<ul>
<li>A football enthusiast with strong local insight</li>
<li>A strategic thinker with leadership and business experience</li>
<li>An entrepreneurial mind ready to operate independently, with full support from HQ</li>
<li>Someone who wants more than a job — they want ownership, impact, and results</li>
</ul>
<p>You’ll manage everything from operations to marketing to team recruitment — but you won’t be alone. Our HQ team provides the tools, playbook, and platform to help you succeed.</p>
<h4>Why this opportunity stands out</h4>
<p>This isn’t a typical job. It’s a business opportunity for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset to take the reins, lead locally, and build a venture that changes how people experience the beautiful game.</p>
<p>Let’s change how the world plays football — one city at a time.</p></p><p></p>
