Manchester City faces New Castle United in a Carabao Cup third-round match on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 (9/27/23) at St. James’ Park in Tyne, England.
GENEVA — FIFA is moving more than 100 jobs from its Swiss headquarters to Florida, where a growing workforce is already working on organizing the 2026 World Cup.
“The FIFA office is a permanent office that will share space initially with the team at the Coral Gables premises in Florida,” said the email attributed to secretary general Fatma Samoura, who is leaving the world governing body at the end of the year. The expanded 48-team men’s World Cup in 2026 will be hosted mostly in the U.S. with games also played in Canada and Mexico. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said last year in Qatar, where he moved to oversee preparations for the 2022 World Cup, that he expected to spend more time in the U.S. in the future.
FIFA’s decision to move its legal department still seemed surprising given that Switzerland is a hub for global sports law and hundreds of FIFA cases — including contract disputes, plus some disciplinary and ethics cases — are heard each year at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
