The new build 45,000 seater Stadium in Kazan, Tartarstan hopes to get a Quarter-Final in 2018. Kazan is the venue for the XXVII Universiade (World Student Games), 12 events compulsory. Hopefully Ireland can send a Mens and Women's team next year. The IUFA didn't send Football teams to Shenchen near Hong Kong in 2011. Having concluded their tour of Kazan’s FIFA World Cup competition and non-competition venues, the delegation of the Russia 2018 Local Organising Committee headed by its CEO Alexey Sorokin together with representatives of the FIFA inspection team led by Jürgen Müller. Sorokin "The matches will be distributed on the principle of a stadium’s compliance with FIFA’s seating and capacity requirements and based on the draw results. Semifinals of the FIFA World Cup must be staged in stadiums able to seat the minimum of 60,000 people, while stadiums bidding to host the final must have the capacity of not less than 80,000 people,» said Alexey Sorokin, CEO of the Russia 2018 Local Organising Committee. Special consideration was also given to fans’ safety at football matches. The experience of the 2012 UEFA Euro Cup that is currently taking place in Poland and Ukraine has demonstrated again the significance of developing a code of conduct for football fans and providing safety at such high-profile events as football championships.
Müller
For his part, Jürgen Müller, FIFA’s head of the 2014, 2018 and 2022 World Cups, said that the results of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Host Cities selection process would be revealed as early as in September 2012.

September 29th 2012 is the promised big day for the announcement of venues for Russia 2018.
Up to TWO venues may be cut from a current list of THIRTEEN. (unlucky for some). "A FIFA delegation spent much of the spring and summer visiting the 13 candidate cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Samara, Saransk, Volgograd, Sochi, Krasnodar and Rostov-on-Don." cannot wait.

Kazan is turning out to be quite a good place for football. They have a pretty nice stadium and a good team to go along with it. Will be a great venue both for the Student Games and the World Cup.

That would make sense, but seeing as Russia will probably want to make an impression they're likely to build a few new ones, if not most.

Far too much emphasis on the stadium and not enough on the infrastrcture necessary for a big finals as we saw in Ukraine this summer. Lovely stadiums but empty seats at most matches because fans couldn't/wouldn't travel

While I understand why the final will be at the Luzhniki,I think it's an awful stadium to have it in it's current state.Major games should be kept well away from stadia with running tracks

If Joe Senior was still around he wouldn't let any of that sh*t happen...another five year plan and they be sorted Some great potential host cities...would echo corkery above ... I would love to go to Volgograd. The biggest pain in the hole though would Kalinigrad. The logistics of getting across Belarus or Ukraine for the group games would be a balls plus you would need a double entry visa for Russia. Can't see it making the final list.

it's a class stadium, was pleasantly surprised how much you can see despite the track, no worries on atmosphere either, was more than half empty when we played and noise was incredible |

Didnt see it mentioned anywhere but they were announced the other day. Krasnodar and Yaroslavl dropped.
Wonder will there be a visa waiver like the CL final in 08'.

Russia reveals World Cup venuesSeptember 30, 2012
FIFA have announced the 11 cities which will host matches during the 2018 World Cup. The tournament wil comprise of 64 matches and will be staged at 12 different stadiums with Moscow being the only city with two venues selected - those of Luzhniki, which hosted the 2008 Champions League final, and Spartak. Sochi, who will stage the 2014 Winter Olympics, St Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Samara, Saransk, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don and Ekaterinburg will also host matches. Yaroslavl and Krasnodar missed out on being named host cities after putting in bids. "The announcement of the host cities is the first concrete step taken in the delivery of the 2018 FIFA World Cup," FIFA president Sepp Blatter said. "They make a decisive contribution to the success of the most popular sporting event. We look forward to a productive partnership on our road to the first FIFA World Cup in Eastern Europe. "We are very pleased with the pace of the 2018 LOC (Local Organising Committee) from day one when they were awarded the hosting of the event in December 2010. Their achievements show their enthusiasm and commitment." Vitaly Mutko, Russian minister of sport and chairman of the Russia 2018 LOC, said: "The final selection of the 2018 FIFA World Cup host cities is an important milestone en route to hosting the tournament in 2018. "This decision launches the full-scale preparation for the FIFA World Cup in the 11 host cities across the country." Russia beat England and joint bids from Holland/Belgium and Spain/Portugal in December 2010 for the right to host the World Cup. |

Yeah there's an article about it in World Soccer Magazine this month, contrasting the nightmare of 2014 with 2018's 'cluster' set up. The cities in Russia nearest to each other form a cluster basically, sort of like Poznan/Gdansk at Euro 2012 for example. Brazil will be a nightmare for the Germans and the Swedes
