Sochi is not enough for us
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin did not have to travel to Zurich before the announcement of the country that will host the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He explained in an interview with American television journalist Larry King that he did not want to put pressure on FIFA management. Now he can already go there - earlier he gave the command to the crew of his plane to prepare to fly to Switzerland in the event that Russia receives the right to host the championship. Russia received the majority of votes from members of the FIFA executive committee, with England second in the number of votes.
According to the application submitted by Russia, the World Cup matches will be held in 13 cities, in four clusters with centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Sochi.
