Moscow: Russia’s authorities have shown a strong commitment as far as preparations for the 2018 Football World Cup go, world football governing body Fifa’s Secretary-General Fatma Samoura said.
Fifa President Gianni Infantino has said on many occasions that Russia is able to carry out the best World Cup in history, reports Tass news agency.
“I totally agree with him. If you would ask me why, I will tell you that first, it is because of a strong commitment from the authorities here,” Samoura told Tass.
“From the 11 hosting cities, from the LOC, from the government, from Fifa. We have really good relationship. We want this to be the No. 1 World Cup, because Russia is a great nation and also because Russia will be hosting one of the most beautiful games in the world,” she pointed out.
