The headquarters of which of these sporting organizations is not located in Switzerland?

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) is the international governing body for the sport of athletics. It was founded on 17 July 1912 as the International Amateur Athletic Federation in Stockholm, Sweden. Since October 1993, its headquarters have been in Monaco.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was the first international sports body to come to Switzerland and has been in Lausanne since 1915. Canton Vaud, of which Lausanne is the capital, is home to about 20 sports governing bodies.

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) is a worldwide governing body for ice hockey and in-line hockey. Its headquarters are in Zurich, Switzerland. The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is the administrative body for association football, futsal and beach soccer in Europe. The UEFA headquarters are in Nyon, Switzerland.

Switzerland is 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.

Sports bodies based in Switzerland enjoy association status. Associations are not obliged to register with the state nor to publish their accounts. They are granted tax breaks and flexible legal terms that allow them to govern their own affairs and are generally exempt from Swiss anti-corruption laws.
