About

The FIFA Museum in Zürich celebrates the global story of football with an immersive, modern approach that appeals to fans and curious visitors alike. Opened in 2016, it was designed to showcase not only the sport’s greatest moments but also its cultural impact across continents. The building’s sleek architecture mirrors the museum’s mission: to blend history, emotion, and technology into a single experience. Inside, the “World Cup Gallery” is the star attraction. Here, visitors can see every FIFA World Cup trophy, including the original Jules Rimet Cup, displayed with dramatic lighting that highlights its legendary status. Interactive stations allow guests to relive iconic goals, explore tactical evolutions, and hear personal stories from players and supporters. The “Fields of Play” exhibition dives into football as a social phenomenon, showing how the sport shapes identity, community, and creativity worldwide. Another highlight is the giant pinball‑style “Skill Zone,” where visitors can test their reaction speed and ball control. Memorabilia from all 211 FIFA member associations — shirts, flags, and rare artefacts — underline the museum’s global reach. With its mix of nostalgia and innovation, the FIFA Museum offers a dynamic journey through the world’s most beloved sport.
