Russia was selected as the host nation of the 2018 World Cup on May 23, 2009. The tournament will be their biggest event since the Olympic Games four years ago. It will be the world's largest sporting event, with over 20 million visitors expected from around the world. The matches will be played at several stadiums across St. Petersburg and Moscow, with the opening ceremony and some closing ceremonies taking place at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. FIFA, the governing body of football, has awarded the tournament to Russia after holding an open vote among its member countries. "We are very happy that Russia has been chosen to host the World Cup," said Vladimir Putin, president of Russia. "The chance to showcase our sport to the world and show it is a peaceful activity which brings people together will be an honor."
The choice of Russia as host nation received widespread support from both national teams and clubs. Russian players have won three out of four tournaments hosted so far by their country, including two consecutive European Championships. They also won the Confederations Cup in 2017, defeating Spain 2-1 in the final.

The Club World Cup is an annual international club football tournament sponsored by the Spanish clothing company Nike. First played in 2000, it consists of the four best national teams in world football: England, Spain, Italy and Germany. The tournament is based on the UEFA Champions League, but instead of only the European clubs participating, the Asian, American, African and Oceanian champions are also invited to join.
The first eight editions were played exclusively in continental Europe, with the exception of the 2001 edition which was held in Asia because of the September 11 attacks. From 2009 onwards, the tournament has been held annually, with one exception in 2013 when it was cancelled due to political turmoil in Brazil after the death of former President Díaz.
Since its inception, the tournament has always taken place within a year of the conclusion of the UEFA Champions League.
Russia formally exited the campaign to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup in October 2010. Russia was chosen as the host country for the 2018 FIFA World Cup on December 2, 2010.. Schedule
