Launched in 2007, FIFA Films is the unique audiovisual archive of FIFA. Based in Zurich and Zug, Switzerland, FIFA Films is responsible for the management, maintenance, commercialisation and distribution of FIFA's audiovisual archives.

The FIFA Films catalogue consists of over 30,000 hours of reels and video tapes dating as far back as 1930, the year of the first FIFA World Cup™ in Uruguay.

It also includes moving images from all FIFA competitions to date, such as the various FIFA World Cups at youth level and events for women, futsal and beach soccer. In addition, it also provides unique footage of FIFA's other events such as the various draws and galas - to name but a few.

The FIFA Films archive encompasses the most extensive footage available from the FIFA World Cup tournaments, 1930-2006. The collection consists of all the official FIFA World Cup films produced from 1954-2006, including most of the out-takes and rushes and also all televised FIFA World Cup games from 1966-2006.

For full matches as well as official films, formats include 16mm, 35mm and standard-definition (SD) television format. High-definition (HD) footage has been in existence since 2002, starting with the FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan. The 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany was the first to be fully produced in HD.

All of this footage is carefully catalogued and logged, ensuring quick and easy access for client's requests. FIFA Films exclusively services businesses though, not private requests. In addition to its archive role, FIFA Films is open to working on new projects and co-productions.

The day-to-day management of FIFA Films is handled by Infront Sports & Media AG in Zug, Switzerland. Please email FIFA Films with any ideas concerning the production of quality football programming.
