Russia will host the FIFA 2018 World Cup finals in 12 venues spread across 11 cities.

MOSCOW
The Russian capital, a city of more than 12 million people, is home to two World Cup venues.
Moscow’s Luzhniki stadium, which will host seven matches including the final and opening match, has undergone extensive reconstruction work since 2013 to expand capacity to 81,000 seats.
Spartak stadium, home to the Russian Premier League club of the same name, will host five matches, including one in the round of 16.
ST PETERSBURG
St Petersburg’s World Cup stadium, which took a decade to build, will host seven World Cup matches including a quarter-final. Home to Russian soccer powerhouse Zenit, the venue has experienced several issues with its pitch and leaking roof.
St Petersburg was founded by Tsar Peter the Great in 1703 and was Russia’s imperial capital. It remains an important cultural and artistic centre.
