Over 40 international federations and international sports-related organizations have their headquarters in Switzerland, notably the UEFA (Union Europeenne de Football Association) and the FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) which makes Switzerland, the hub and epicenter of global sport administration. Switzerland has been attractive to such governing bodies for many reasons: its geographic location, highly qualified work force, political stability, neutrality, security, quality of life, plus an attractive tax regime and legal code.
