Visiting FIFA Museum

About FIFA Museum

Opened in 2016 near Enge station, the FIFA Museum covers the history of world football with World Cup trophies, shirts from every member association, interactive games and a pinball hall. It appeals to football fans and to children on a rainy afternoon.

Tip: Leave time for the interactive football games on the lower floor, which children enjoy most.
