The FIFA Museum in Zürich traces football’s history through World Cup objects, trophies, team shirts and interactive exhibits. Its galleries cover memorable tournaments, landmark moments and the sport’s development, with activities that can engage children and adults alike. Look for national jerseys arranged by colour, then head to the skills area to test your football ability and print a score. The museum is at Seestrasse 27, a short walk from Zürich Enge station. Allow about an hour for a visit; book ahead, especially if you want to spend time at the interactive stations.
World Cup history and objects
The museum follows football through tournament history, memorable matches and major moments in the sport. Displays bring together historic objects, signed shirts, trophies and videos of famous goals and victories. Past competitions are set out with supporting information, including material on tournaments such as USA ’94.
The collection includes trophies from men’s, women’s and under-17 competitions. The original FIFA World Cup Trophy is among the objects on view. National team shirts are grouped by colour, so look for the display where the jerseys form a rainbow.
Interactive areas
Digital displays and hands-on activities give the visit a more active pace. In the skills area, you can test yourself against football challenges and print your score at the end. There is also a gaming zone and a section for children, so the museum has activities for different ages and levels of interest.
The displays extend beyond the galleries: the lift has 3D graphics, and the lockers are marked with players’ names and countries. Interactive stations can draw a crowd, so a quieter visit may give you more time to use them.
