The fact that foreign fans are enjoying their stay in Russia for the World Cup to such a degree is not surprising, FIFA’s Chief Competitions and Events Officer Colin Smith said on Friday.
“Am I surprised? No. I have been coming to this country now for over three years in the preparation of this, and I’ve seen first-hand the hospitality, the accommodation, the passion, the enthusiasm for hosting the World Cup here… It’s just fantastic seeing all these nationalities grouping together and enjoying themselves,” Smith said.
The World Cup kicked off in Russia on June 14 and will continue through July 15.
