If you are a fan of association football, the FIFA Museum in Zurich offers an immersive dive into the history of world football. Located across town from the FIFA headquarters in the renovated Haus zur Enge—right across from the Zurich Enge railway station—this 3,500-square-meter facility occupies three lower floors filled with rich football heritage. When you visit, you will encounter more than one thousand remarkable objects, featuring memorabilia from every single FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women's World Cup.

The highlight for many visitors is seeing the famous original FIFA World Cup Trophy in person. Beyond traditional displays, the museum brings the sport to life through engaging multimedia and interactive installations. You can test your skills on the world's biggest pinball machine ever made or immerse yourself in the 'Visions of Football' audiovisual installation, which utilizes massive eight-meter LED screens.

Beyond the main exhibition space, the building offers convenient amenities including a sports bar, bistro, café, library, museum shop, and conference rooms. Though critics note that the museum avoids addressing FIFA's internal controversies, it provides a fascinating, high-tech tribute to the global game.
