Fifa is set to leave offices at the prestigious Hôtel de la Marine in Paris after only three years and relocate its bureau to smaller premises in the French capital after staff numbers dropped by more than half, the Guardian understands.
The Hôtel de la Marine bureau, opened in 2021 by president Emmanuel Macron, is one of 12 established by world football’s governing body as part of what Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantino, has described as “our ambition to make football truly global”.
