World Cup will make Russia ‘a real football country’

World Cup will make Russia ‘a real football country’

Russia’s bid got more points than, for example, Britain’s, because Russia needs the World Cup to make it a real football country unlike Britain, where the whole infrastructure, like stadiums, is already there.

Russia will have to build it all brand new, said Gennady Fedorov, a sports journalist at the Reuters news agency.“This all will be most probably for a new generation, the kids that are now just growing up – they will be the part of that team that will compete in 2018.”
