About FIFA World Football Museum
An interactive museum celebrating the global history of football, with 1,000+ objects including World Cup trophies, located in Zurich's Enge neighbourhood.
The FIFA World Football Museum, opened in 2016, is housed in a beautifully designed building in Zurich's Enge neighbourhood, a short walk from the lake. The museum spans three floors and over 3,000 square metres, tracing the global story of football from its 19th-century origins to the present day. The centrepiece of the collection is undoubtedly the original FIFA World Cup Trophy, actually on display here, where visitors can stand face-to-face with the golden trophy that represents the pinnacle of the sport. The museum holds over 1,000 objects, including historic match balls, players' shirts, bootsfrom legendary matches, rare photographs, and extensive archival footage. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to test their football knowledge, watch iconic moments from World Cup history, and explore the social and cultural dimensions of the global game. Zurich is the appropriate home for such a museum, it has been the headquarters city of FIFA since 1932, and the organisation's offices and executive facilities are nearby. For football lovers of all ages, the museum is a compelling and moving tribute to the world's most universal sport.
