The 2018 FIFA World Cup will be the 21st FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial international football tournament contested by the men’s national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It is scheduled to take place in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018,[1] after the country was awarded the hosting rights on 2 December 2010.

This will be the first World Cup held in Europe since the 2006 tournament in Germany, the first ever to be held in Eastern Europe and the eleventh time that it has been held in Europe. All of the stadium venues are in European Russia to keep travel time manageable.

The final tournament will involve 32 national teams, which include 31 teams determined through qualifying competitions and the automatically qualified host team. Of the 32 teams, 20 will be making back-to-back appearances following the last tournament in 2014, including defending champions Germany, while Iceland and Panama will both be making their first appearances at a FIFA World Cup. Denmark and Serbia will return after missing the 2014 tournament. A total of 64 matches will be played in 12 venues located in 11 cities. The final will take place on 15 July at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.[2][3][4]

The winners of the World Cup will qualify for the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Foodball is the most popular game in Bangladesh. Though the country is not participating in the world cup the crazy foodball lovers are very famous to blow the supporting team flags over their roof, balcony and many more places. A complete fastive look flows over the country. talk show, drama, gossiping and all the way flooded by the world cup madness and rivalary. The sky seems like international by the different participating countries flag.

You are welcome to witness the passion and suspense of live football. I feel highly privileged to be selected as a volunteer at FIFA world cup to be held in Russia. I am extremely happy to receive the volunteer’s kit which comprises a smart T-shirt, trousers, cap, cool watch, carry bag and other useful accessories. The Russian capital expects up to 1 million fans from different countries during the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia to witness the matches.

I look forward to rendering my help, guidance, and services to all the guests visiting Moscow. As I have been enjoying my stay at this beautiful place Moscow. For two and half years I have explored the visiting spots, parks, museums, secret places, restaurants, malls, etc.

Here are the few links to the schedule of matches and host cities.

Also, I advise you to visit the special exhibition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia at the Hyundai Motorstudio on New Arbat Avenue in Moscow. The museum is now open to the public for 42 days until 20 July 2018, and the entry is free.

My Facebook and Instagram link, in case you need any help and information regarding the same.

Welcome to Russia and enjoy your stay.

Thanks for tagging me @helga19 . Bulgaria is really excited about football (soccer), although we haven’t had a good football team since the 90’s. :smiley: I’m not a big fan of it because our local FCs are wellâ€Ļ ridiculous. However, I’m slowly catching on this excitement and we’re even placing our bets for the winner with my friends and colleagues. :slight_smile:
