SVP and Mitte wanted to know from the city council what the rumors of Fifa's departure were all about. The answer now shows that Fifa is likely to remain in Zurich for the time being. The city council is not aware of any plans to move away, he writes.
According to FIFA, 850 of the 1000 employees currently work at the headquarters in Zurich. FIFA has always emphasized to the media that it is happy in Zurich. However, since May of this year, a move away would be possible, at least in theory.
At its congress in Bangkok, the world football association decided to amend its statutes. The requirement that Zurich must be the headquarters was removed. Fifa has had its headquarters in Zurich for over 90 years.
