The special exhibition focussed on the people who have shaped what it means to play football. They are the organisers, players, coaches, and fans who have inspired women to lace up their boots.

211 Cultures. One Game
Despite playing by a single set of rules, each of FIFA’s 211 member associations has a football culture of its own.

With every association invited to contribute to the exhibition, “211 Cultures. One Game” shares a story from all 211 nations – about the fans, players and people who make the game happen.
