You'd nearly want to go now if you're driving from Ireland to Russia LOL


I'm not saying there will be an influx or convoy of Irish in campers but there will be a few headers who will take a month off and drive it



Anyone who does that for Russia needs their head examined

Given the distances involved flights to Russia are quite reasonable.

I just checked skyscanner and there are flights for less than 300 euro return.  Driving makes no sense at that price even with 4 in a car.  You have to factor in fuel, tolls and wear and tear etc.  

This is actually an accessible World Cup.  Even if we don't qualify it is a chance for those who want to experience a World Cup.  

It will probably be 2034 before it comes back to Europe again.

Could you imagine irish lads in a camper van plastered in eire colours rocking up in some town. The local hooligans will make a bee line for it

Depending on what happens with Qatar of course. If it's taken off them. Only viable replacement options are Germany,England or The US

Great times indeed but I wouldn't go overland to Russia, not even back in the 80's. I still remember the stink in the van, socks, beer and we used to smoke when travelling as well.

Will be back in Europe once Qatar is stripped. 

*** Saw Irwins post. Short notice would have to be Europe

Time will tell but I'm not too concerned re a hooligan threat in Russia.  I believe Putin will want this World Cup to be a great success and to showcase Russia to the world.    I think any attempts by hooligans to attack fans would be severely dealt with and frowned upon by the authorities.  I am aware of what happened in Marseille but I don't believe that Putin was too upset over that.  

I think the terror threat is real and a concern but that is the same for Dublin or Westport.    

I'm not convinced Qatar will be stripped of the World Cup.  


As per the above they may have to give it up.  However I don't believe FIFA could risk stripping it from them.  Who knows what might come out if the Qataris had nothing to lose?  I also believe China or Australia could host it at short notice.  

2026 is nailed on for North America.  

There is a very strong case for the centenary World cup to go back to Uruguay.  This would be co-hosted with Argentina and possibly Paraguay and/or even southern Brazil.  I really hope they do get it.

Argentina and Uruguay announced a few months back they would be bidding and Paraguay were included in the bid just two or three weeks ago. They're the only confirmed bids so far

I don't care if I'm in a wheelchair or bed bound I'll be going to South America for the 2030 WC should they be successful.

It would have the makings of one of the great World Cups.

I see a match ticket acts as a visa during the world cup.
What is the earliest I can arrive and latest I can leave on this "fans visa"?

You need to buy at least one official ticket.  Then you need a Fan ID.  you can then enter visa free from ten days before the tournament to ten days after it.

Was I dreaming or did I hear that transport in Russia will be free once you have match tickets?
