As well as offices, the complex includes a fitness centre, a meditation room, geographically themed parks, a full-size international football pitch[1] and full-size beach football pitch.[2]

The main building has only two upper levels, but five underground levels, resulting in two thirds of the headquarters lying underground. "Places where people make decisions should only contain indirect light," said Sepp Blatter, "because the light should come from the people themselves who are assembled there."[3]
