FIFA part ways with CEO of football museum

By Daily Sports on October 28, 2016

FIFA says the CEO of its $140 million (€128m) football museum in Zurich is leaving amid reports of poor visitor numbers since opening in February.

FIFA agreed with Stefan Jost “to part company by the end of October 2016 due to contrasting views on future plans for the FIFA World Football Museum.”

Jost leaves as FIFA leaders reevaluate how they spend more than $5 billion income from each World Cup.

The museum opening was the first official duty of FIFA president Gianni Infantino two days after his election.

The project — a museum on three floors, sports bar and apartments for rent — was a favourite of former FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

It was projected to attract 250,000 visitors annually. FIFA also spent $27m buying a neighbouring hotel. (NAN)
