BEN JACOBS
Sports Journalist, Commentator
& Event Host
ABOUT ME
I am a sports broadcaster, journalist and event host with over 15-years-experience in the industry. My career to date has seen me cover multiple World Cups, Olympic Games, Grand Slams and Majors and interview the likes of Lionel Messi, Usain Bolt, Roger Federer and Tiger Woods.
I have filmed the highest-altitude football match at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, beat Diego Maradona at a kick-up challenge and boxed with Mike Tyson in a makeshift ring in his Dubai hotel suite. Needless to say, I didn’t win!
PORTFOLIO
My portfolio is diverse and showcases my versatility as a broadcaster, producer, writer and strategist. I have strong editorial judgement and am highly skilled at creating both multi-platform and athlete-led content.
I relish presenting, commentating and interviewing and can self-shoot and edit, too. I also have a strong background sourcing in-depth and investigative features for various global outlets.
EVENTS
I am a passionate, personality-driven event host capable of bringing insight, energy and humour to your event. I host awards dinners, conferences and fundraisers both in and outside of sport. I excel in live environments… and scrub up surprisingly well in black tie!
I was a presenter at last year’s inaugural Women’s Convention for FIFA TV and am a regular moderator at Soccerex. I also hosted last year’s Integrity Summit in New York for SIGA and have been an on-court emcee for the ATP and WTA at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
