Football fans in Hong Kong are finally getting a dedicated space to celebrate the beautiful game. With the Cristiano Ronaldo museum soon to wind down its run, this new six-month exhibition at Times Square arrives just in time to fill the void. Opening on May 28, the FIFA Museum Hong Kong brings a heavy hit of sporting history to Causeway Bay, serving as a lead-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026.
More than just a few dusty old boots in glass cases, the museum offers a curated journey through the history of the biggest sport in the world, created by the same team behind the FIFA Museum in Zurich. The centrepiece of the exhibition is an installation called The Rainbow, a display featuring the jerseys of all 211 FIFA Member Associations, designed to show the sport’s diversity and how it connects people from every corner of the globe. You’ll also find original objects from the official FIFA Museum collection, trophies, and multimedia installations from the most iconic FIFA moments in both the men’s and women’s games.
The Hong Kong edition also features a purpose-built cinema space, where visitors can catch screenings of short films like The Final and The Path of Champions. Local fans should also look out for other items and stories connected specifically to football in Asia and Hong Kong.
While the original FIFA Museum occupies a three-storey site in Zurich, this residency is the first time the institution has staged a large-scale, long-term exhibition in East Asia. Tickets can be purchased via the Arena-Tix platform. Standard entry is priced at $180, while concessionary tickets for kids and families are available for $140. There are also a limited number of VIP experiences on offer, which include guided tours and exclusive souvenirs if you want to give your visit a more premium treatment.
