About

I’m a sports multimedia journalist and analyst focusing on global football/soccer and major international sporting events, with experience contributing in both live on-air media coverage and editorial production settings. For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, I served as the media correspondent and a TV analyst for ABC News Albania. Earlier that year, I worked in editorial research for NBC Sports through the NBCU Immersion Program to assist in the coverage of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. In December 2025, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Multimedia Journalism concentrating in electronic and broadcast news from Loyola University Chicago. Since then, I’ve continued building experience across high-level sports media environments as well as creating sports content across digital platforms, building a personal brand (So Sporty by Bora Cecia) focused on football media, analysis, and storytelling. I am currently an Executive Master’s Candidate in Global Sports Operations & Strategy at Georgetown University in partnership with Manchester City, where I’m deepening my understanding of global sports business, operations, and strategic leadership within elite football organizations.
