December 2010 was a fantastic month for Russian football fans. The second day of the winter month gave many fans the greatest hope - to see the World Cup in person. Millions of spectators were remembered by the radiant faces of the Anglo-Saxon minister Vitaly Mutko (the brilliant speech "Years of My Speech from May Hart") and striker Andrei Arshavin, who held a sign with the inscription "Russia" in his hands. Football officials gave the largest football tournament in Russia.

There are less than 6 years left before the competition starts. The country is not ready to organize such an event. But, as you know, the Russian peasant harnesses for a long time, but quickly rides.

Cities 2018 World Cup

FM-2018 will definitely go down in history at least by the fact that the matches of the final tournament will be held for the first time in two parts of the world - in Europe and Asia. That's what this world championship means! It's a pity that there is not a piece of Russia in Africa or Australia and would seize another continent.

In September 2012, 11 cities were announced that will host the tournament matches: Moscow, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod , Samara, Saransk, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi, Ekaterinburg. To the list of lucky ones, the initially pretended Krasnodar and Yaroslavl did not fall.

Millions of viewers were remembered by the radiant faces of the Anglo-Saxophonist Vitaly Mutko (brilliant speech "Years from my mind my heart") and forward Andrei Arshavin, who held a sign with the inscription "Russia ".

The choice of FIFA for many fans seemed unreasonable: why the tournament did not go to Krasnodar - the city with the highest attendance in the Premier League matches? The city, the only one of all provincial represented in high society by two teams - "Kuban" and "Krasnodar"?

According to the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Vitaly Mutko, the organizers of the 2018 World Cup wanted to show the breadth and diversity of the country. Therefore, in the final list came the same Saransk, where the Finno-Ugric peoples live. And the Krasnodar region and one Sochi is enough. The fact that the capital of the Kuban had better infrastructure than many other cities 6 years before the start of the tournament, the minister for some reason did not mention.

However, FIFA has the right to eliminate that city, which will disrupt the preparation for the championship. So both Krasnodar and Yaroslavl still have a chance to express themselves.

Infrastructure

The FIFA World Cup is a huge, titanic on the spent efforts of organizational work. In the country for a month come hundreds of thousands of fans. They should be placed, fed, entertained, show them tourist places, etc. The most important part of the infrastructure of the tournament are stadiums. So far, no city that will host the 2018 World Cup matches, does not have a ready-made arena. Construction and reconstruction will take place everywhere. And this is billions of rubles

It is known that in Moscow the games should be hosted by the Luzhniki Arena and the Moscow Spartak stadium. Sochi will receive the stadium as a legacy from the Olympic Games, Kazan - from the Universiade 2013. The rest of the cities are likely to build arenas "from scratch."

By European standards, the construction of one stadium costs 200-300 million dollars . By the way, the budget of the future St. Petersburg arena is more than $ 1 billion . It's terrible to imagine , on which such money will be spent . Each stadium must be ready by 2017 . And FIFA puts forward demands for the capacity of arenas . So, the stadiums that will accept the semifinals and the finals must be calculated for at least 50-60 thousand person . Thus, it can be assumed that the matches of these stages will pass t in Moscow and St. Petersburg . Quarter finals can get to Kazan and . maybe Sochi . It is already known that the finals of the 2018 World Cup will be held in Moscow .

Where to live on FMU-2018

Another requirement of FIFA for cities hosting World Cup matches is the conformity of hotels to the established norms. So, in a city there should be a certain amount of hotels 3, 4 and 5 "stars". This is a guarantee that all players and fans will get a roof over their heads.

Most likely, in the cities fans' zones will be broken, where fans can live in tents. This practice has already been applied at other world championships and Europe. Tent camps are cheaper than hotel accommodation.

As for accommodation in the hotel, the Russian government is sure to take control over the cost of the rooms. Hoteliers will certainly want to earn easy money on such a large-scale event, so that officials will follow their appetites. Such measures have already been used by the authorities during the Summer Olympics in London and the European Football Championship in Poland and Ukraine.

An approximate forecast of the cost of living is as follows: on average, prices will increase by 15-20 percent in relation to 2017.

How to buy tickets

Usually tickets for world and European championships go on sale for 6-7 months before the start of the tournament. As soon as the composition of the groups is determined (the draw takes place in December), you can follow the sales. Talk about the cost of tickets early. It is not known what state the Russian economy will be in 2017-2018. But for sure it will not be a cheap pleasure.

The most affordable tickets are sold for matches of the group rounds, then tickets become more expensive. The final game is 5-7 times more expensive than the group match. At resellers - 10-15 times.

Russia as hostess of the tournament will get to the 2018 World Cup without selection. This fact especially warms the soul of Russian fans, as the team often flies past the main competitions of the 4th anniversary. But now there will be no doubt that ours will be there.

Selection for the 2018 World Cup

Qualifying matches for the 2018 World Cup will start in 2016. Each football zone will present the best teams. To date, "on the World" comes from South America, 4 teams, from Africa - 5, from Europe - 13, from North America - 3 or 4, from Asia - 4 or 5, from Oceania - 1 or 2 teams. Russia as hostess of the tournament will get to the 2018 World Cup without selection. This fact especially warms the soul of Russian fans, as the team often flies past the main competitions of the 4th anniversary. But now there will be no doubt that ours will be there.

Russian team

As soon as Russia received the World Cup, journalists and fans began to wonder what the national team would be in 2018. Who will be the coach of the team, its captain, the main players? According to the already mentioned Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko, the team must train two specialists before 2018: one by 2014, the other by 2018. After the disastrous Euro 2012 Russians were led by Italian Fabio Capello. Not the fact that he will last long in this post, everything will depend on the results of the national team.

As for the players, in this regard, Russia is all much more complicated. Some "stars" like Andrei Arshavin have already gone to rest, others have only a couple of more years to play, but no worthy young players are seen yet.

Experts call the following players who can become key figures in the Russian national team of the 2018 sample : striker Alan Dzagoev, striker Fyodor Smolov, midfielder Oleg Shatov, forward Maxim Kanunnikov, midfielder Magomed Ozdoev, defenseman Georgy Schennikov, defender Taras Burlak

Does Russia need a World Cup?

At first sight, a strange question. "Of course, it is necessary! "- say many fans, officials, athletes. However, there was no unanimity in the media about this. Opponents of the World Cup 2018 put forward their own, quite meaningful arguments.

For example, why in a country in which a huge number of problems in the social, economic, political spheres, organize such a costly event? The World Cup will simply "eat" billions of dollars, which could be spent on more far-sighted tasks.

And why should there be any reason why the roads, airports, hotels, stadiums and much more should appear in the country? Why can not all this not be built under a loud signboard, but simply because these are necessary things?

Another important question: what to do with the legacy of the 2018 World Cup in the form of stadiums? New arenas are fine, but 40-50-thousand stadiums are unlikely to be filled to capacity at the Russian Premier League matches. It is difficult to imagine that the game of the Saransk "Mordovia" against the Perm "Amkar" will be sold out. These facilities will pay off for a very long time. Or, as is often the case in Russia, retraining to something else.

So far, preparations for the World Cup are a lot of questions. Chief: will the country cope with such a huge tournament? Fans do not doubt: if South Africa could, then why is it beyond our power? All answers will be given in the summer of 2018.
