“FIFA is a global governing body and certain departments have been informed of a planned move to the new permanent headquarters in Miami,” the association said in response to a request from the Keystone-SDA news agency and AFP, thereby partially confirming information from AFP.
This corresponds to the global vision of an organization with 211 member associations, it said. The new offices in Miami and Singapore would be in addition to the Paris location and regional offices worldwide. FIFA’s headquarters will remain in Zurich, the association also announced.
In particular, the legal department is set to move to Miami, according to AFP’s source. The city in the southern US state of Florida is strategically interesting due to its proximity to the 41 member associations of CONCACAF, the North and Central American Association. In addition, there would be an easy connection to South America.
The football association had already relocated some of the positions from its headquarters in Paris. FIFA recently opened a new office in Miami. It is intended to simplify the organization of the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The USA will also host the 2025 Club World Cup.
