Russia,
the Host nation of 2018 World Cup is gearing up to warmly welcome
all the incoming football fans and competing teams. The Russian
national team briefly interrupted their training camp to greet their
soon-to-be competitors in unique fashion: by dressing up in the
playing kits of every country playing at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and
posing for a squad photo.
“We
welcome all the teams who are coming here for the World Cup,” said
goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, wearing the shirt of reigning world
champions Germany. “I think they’ll quickly be convinced that
Russia is 100% ready for their arrival. Our country has staged plenty
of major sporting events and important matches already. I hope every
player, coach and fan enjoys Russia and its hospitality.
“I
hope everyone likes Russia,” added defender Sergei Ignashevich, who
holds the all-time record for Sbornaya caps. “It’s summer here,
the weather is wonderful and the people are friendly. I’m sure
you’ll be happy.”
