The world football association Fifa wants to open a branch in Paris. This was decided by FIFA boss Gianni Infantino and French President Emmanuel Macron at a meeting on Monday. Historical reminiscences because Fifa was founded in Paris in 1904 before moving to today’s headquarters in Zurich in 1932 should have nothing to do with the decision. This also suggests the fact that Fifa had always denied such relocation rumors. Insiders see this as the next move by Infantino, which is under criminal investigation in Switzerland. In the know, it is said that great attention should now be paid to whether only the presidential areas should be relocated and the business units should remain in tax-efficient Zurich.
