FIFA Museum Hong Kong 2026: Your Complete Visitor Guide to Times Square's Must-See Football Exhibition
The FIFA Museum Hong Kong is a landmark six-month special exhibition, opening to the public on 28 May 2026 at Times Square in Causeway Bay, presented in collaboration with Asia Partners. It arrives as the perfect lead-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Canada, Mexico and the United States — bringing the full weight of the Zurich museum's curated collection to East Asia for the first time.
Occupying 6,000 sq ft on the fourth floor of one of Hong Kong's most iconic shopping destinations, the exhibition is expected to draw between 500,000 and 600,000 visitors over its run, making it one of the biggest cultural events in Hong Kong's 2026 calendar. Whether you're a lifelong football fan, a curious tourist, or a family looking for something memorable to do this summer, this guide covers everything you need to know before you go.
Venue & Location
The exhibition is located on the fourth floor of Times Square, 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
The venue is ideally positioned right next to MTR Causeway Bay Station, making it straightforward to reach for local residents and hotel guests staying across Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Central alike.
Duration
The exhibition opens on 28 May and runs through late November 2026 — a six-month window that takes in the entirety of the FIFA World Cup tournament and beyond.
What's Inside
The World Cup Trophies
The FIFA World Cup trophy will be on display in Hong Kong for the first time ever — in itself one of the most compelling reasons to attend.
Historic Artefacts & Multimedia
The exhibition features a selection of original objects, trophies, multimedia installations and stories curated directly by the FIFA Museum team in Zurich, celebrating the most memorable FIFA World Cup moments and unforgettable FIFA Women's World Cup milestones across the history of the game.
The Rainbow Installation
One of the visual centrepieces is The Rainbow, a striking installation displaying jerseys from all 211 FIFA member associations, celebrating the global reach and diversity of football and its power to connect people and nations.
Asia & Hong Kong Football Stories
Going beyond a purely global perspective, the exhibition includes curated original objects and stories connected specifically to the history of football in Asia and Hong Kong — a thoughtful local dimension that sets this show apart from simply transplanting the Zurich experience wholesale.
Cinema Space
A purpose-built cinema screens two popular FIFA Museum short films — The Final and The Path of Champions — adding an emotional and cinematic layer to the visit.
Interactive Zones
Beyond the historic artefacts, the exhibition features high-energy interactive zones. Visitors can challenge themselves in penalty shootouts, test their reflexes in goalkeeping trials, or step behind the VAR screen to make decisions just like a real match official. A state-of-the-art AI photo booth lets you capture your own digital highlights from the day.
Education & Family Elements
Alongside the official FIFA Museum collection, the exhibition features engaging and educational content designed specifically for school groups, families and younger visitors.

Getting There
Times Square at 1 Matheson Street is one of Hong Kong's most accessible venues. MTR Causeway Bay Station (Island Line) exits directly into or adjacent to the mall. Buses, trams (Hong Kong's beloved "ding ding"), and taxis all serve the area with ease.
Tips for Visitors
Book ahead — with up to 600,000 visitors expected, popular time slots will fill quickly, especially on weekends and during school holidays.
Consider the VIP experience — if budget allows, the guided tour element is likely the best way to fully appreciate the historical context of the artefacts.
Combine your visit — Times Square has extensive dining and retail options, and Causeway Bay is one of Hong Kong's most vibrant neighbourhoods for food, shopping and street life.
School groups — the dedicated educational content makes this an excellent field trip destination; arrange group bookings in advance.
Time it with the World Cup — the FIFA World Cup 2026 runs from June to July, so visiting during the tournament means you can follow live match action while surrounded by the sport's greatest history.
The FIFA World Cup trophy has never before been displayed in Hong Kong, and this exhibition won't return in this form. For football fans across Asia, it's a genuine must-see event of 2026.
