FIFA tram

FIFA is celebrating its centenary this year: It was founded in Paris on 21st May 1904 and its headquarters has been in Zürich since 1932.

FIFA chairman, Sepp Blatter, unveiled the tram at Messe-Hallenstadion terminus. The set will run in this guise for one year and be used on routes 2, 3, 4 and 9.
