Marshawn Lynch Works as Credentialed Photographer at U.S. World Cup Match

The appearance highlights a trend of retired stars using media credentials to build public profiles.

Overview

  • Marshawn Lynch held photographer credentials on Friday, June 19, photographed part of the United States’ 2-0 win over Australia, and the result clinched a place for the U.S. in the World Cup Round of 32.
  • He was seen on the sidelines before kickoff wearing a green photographer bib with a camera and later watched the match from a suite, where broadcasts showed him alongside former teammate Cliff Avril.
  • This outing adds to Lynch’s growing photography resume after earlier credentialed appearances at a Seahawks preseason game, Super Bowl 60, the Canelo-Crawford fight, and the Daytona 500.
  • Mainstream coverage places Lynch’s sideline role in a broader pattern of high-profile athletes taking credentialed media roles, pointing to similar appearances by figures such as Simone Biles and Caitlin Clark.
  • A report that Lynch delivered a pregame speech outside the stadium has limited corroboration, and outlets have not identified any formal photographic employer or agency for his work, leaving his exact affiliation unclear.
