Our vision is to surprise and astound the world of football with a FIFA World Cup™ hosted in a country sitting at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Russia 2018/2022 will take the game to new hearts and minds, reaching young people across Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East with the unifying promise, story and legacy that only football can provide.

As a nation, we are uniformly committed to providing a remarkable Games experience, and are dedicated to realizing the true promise and power of the FIFA World Cup™: to help move a country forward by showing that the dreams which unite us all, everywhere, are more powerful than the differences, real or perceived, that seemingly divide us.
