FIFA Getting started in the United States
Earlier this month, FIFA's Legal & Compliance Division completed their move from Zurich to Miami — a switch in line with FIFA's vision to be truly global.
The Legal & Compliance Division has made the trans-Atlantic switch to facilitate preparations for the FIFA World Cup 26, which will be the most inclusive yet with an unprecedented 48 teams and three co-hosts, Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Laura Corica, Team Lead of the Education, Support and Communication Team within the Football Regulatory Subdivision, said: "The advantage is, for sure, to have a global presence here. We are… From Zurich to Miami, we are present in the North American and American continent. And, secondly, for sure, we are a global organisation, so we want to have [a bit of] presence everywhere, and what else than having Miami as a hub as well for football and (the) development of football in this region."
Senior Legal Counsel Cameron Scullen added: "Miami has really become a great place for companies – every industry – to come down and be a part of. The three main things that Miami, I think, over the last five years that have really taken off are the technology, innovation and entertainment space. So, for FIFA to be based here for the long term is going to be a great opportunity, I think, for the organisation."
