Football’s global governing body opened the door to potentially moving its headquarters from Zurich, while stressing that it’s “happy” for now having its main office in Switzerland.

By a vote of 202 to 4, delegates at FIFA’s annual assembly in Bangkok approved a raft of statutes, including a new clause that stipulates that Zurich is the headquarters until members decide otherwise.
