Football Fever - Play. Compete. Repeat.
6 December 2024 – 31 August 2025 | Zurich, Switzerland
The FIFA Museum is currently hosting the new exhibition space "Football Fever: Play. Compete. Repeat.", which will be open until 31 August 2025. It offers a unique opportunity to experience football in an interactive way and to discover how closely the sport is linked to pop culture.
"Football Fever" focuses on the fascinating fusion of football with areas such as toy design, comics, entertainment trends, art and social movements. Visitors will not only be able to admire exciting exhibits, but also get active themselves. There are interactive stations and games that bring to life the many ways in which football has impacted society.
An absolute highlight is the skills.lab Cube, a state-of-the-art interactive installation. This three-metre-high artificial turf cube with 360°-display technology allows visitors to test their own skills such as ball control, passing accuracy and vision right in the museum.
The exhibition also features a number of unusual objects that illustrate the link between football and pop culture, from a toy set featuring female football stars such as Megan Rapinoe and Sam Kerr to original Captain Tsubasa manga, an AC Milan jersey and a figurine of Dutch legend Ruud Gullit.
"With 'Football Fever', we are telling stories that go far beyond the football pitch," said Marco Fazzone, Managing Director of the FIFA Museum. "The exhibition shows how football has influenced global culture, captured the imagination of children and shaped leisure trends around the world."
Guests can also enjoy a range of other games, including football pool, a 1994 FIFA World Cup pinball machine and old and new game consoles. Various games of skill also invite you to experience football in a fun way.
From tabletop games and arcade classics to modern gaming consoles, football has influenced pop culture and the art of play through the decades. The beautiful game is more than a sport – it is a cultural and creative phenomenon that extends far beyond the pitch, embodying the spirit of competition, rivalries and the urge to play just one more round.
