FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia

Today Russia is a winner. At the first time ever Russia has won the right to host FIFA World Cup in 2018.

So, what is to say? Congratulations! What is this filling? Proud! This is Proud for my native country,  Joy for all nation,  willing to hug every Russian in London and to share this national happiness. 

We have been waiting for it so long and preparing so hard. I think, this day has been the most nervous day not only for Russia but also for our rivals. Among our competitors were the strongest football states - Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and the native land of football - England.

It is seemed that the whoul world has been watching the announcement ceremony in Zurich. When FIFA president  said "Russia" I just could not sit quiet. I was jumping along with Russian the first vice-premier Shuvalov and the sport minister Minister Mutko. Even our the world jump champion Elena Isinbayeva this time was jumping not for the record but for joy!

Who is Sasha?

If you have 9 free minutes it is strongly recommended to watch Russian bid promo. It is really amazing! The idea of the clip is that the boy Sasha travels in his dreams to cities in Russia. His end point is the final match of the 2018 World Cup in Moscow. There is a match between Russia and Italy. Sasha scores the winning goal in that game. 

As the Russian press says, the boy Sasha is an exciting young footballer.  Moreover, there are two different and , at the same, similar boys in the video. They are twins. Both keen on sport. 

The idea of this promo belongs to the American movie producer Rupert Wainwright . He works in Hollywood. It is reported that the two-minute video presentation American producer had been shooting during four weeks.

What is in the bid? 

According to the bid, 13 cities and 16 new stadiums will take World Cup in 2018. The most pleasant for me is that one of these cities is my native city of Rostov-on-Don.

The new stadium will be built in Rostov-on-Don. The place was chosen on the left bank of the river  Don. It will be a stadium for 40 000 seats!  According to the project there will not be not the fourth stand on the stadium. There will be the view of  the Don embankment instead. 

Congratulations, Russia! And Welcome to Russia 2018!
