“FIFA is a global governing body and certain departments have been informed of a plan to move to a new permanent headquarters in Miami,” a FIFA spokesperson told Keystone-ATS and AFP, partially confirming these information.
“This corresponds to the global vision of an organization which has 211 member associations. Our new offices in Miami and Singapore join our Paris offices and regional development offices around the world. FIFA’s headquarters remains in Zurich,” said the body’s spokesperson.
Miami, a strategic choice
The legal department in particular would also move to Miami according to the source. The Florida city would appear strategic due to its proximity to CONCACAF’s 41 member associations, which span North America, Central America and the Caribbean, and its easy connections to South America.
In addition to the 2026 World Cup, the United States will host the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. FIFA was established in Paris in 1904, before moving to Zurich in 1932 which became its main headquarters in 2007 .
