The Russia 2018/2022 bid represents an historic chance for the FIFA World Cup™ brand to inspire Eastern Europe by choosing a Host Country from the former Soviet bloc. Our recognition of the incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the tournament affords Russia has impacted and informed every aspect of our organization and planning.

From our Committee selection to our multi-cluster plan concept, the Russia 2018/2022 bid has been developed to meet our continued commitment to create an amazing tournament guaranteed to surprise our visitors and guests, while delivering on the ideals embodied by FIFA and its mission to build "a better future for the world by using the power and popularity of football."
