It has to be noted that of all the all the museums visited the FIFA museum is the only one that does not directly name the game. And that is for a simple reason. It is not dedicated to football but a shrine to FIFA itself, which is a shame since the IFAB, also now based in Zurich, of which FIFA is but one member along with the FAs of the four nations of the United Kingdom, is the custodian of the laws, the "manners" of the sport. And "manners maketh man". Thus FIFA should be considered only the, and sometimes not very good, organiser of tournaments but somehow that has been lost.
Therefore and to quote, "The FIFA Museum in Zurich is generally considered worth visiting, especially for football (soccer) fans, but some visitors find it overpriced for what it offers." Interpretation of which might be that it is somewhat disingenuous about its scope using the lure of the "Beautiful Game" to promote not it but itself and is done at a price that could, if content were done very, very well and comprehensibly, i.e. history past and story present, do justice to the former but cannot justify the latter.

The Education and Heritage Centre (EHC) was not intended to be a museum filled with relics of the past but rather an interactive, enjoyable and educational experience with wide-ranging audience appeal.
