The FIFA Fan Fest in St. Petersburg has been visited by more than one million fans since the beginning of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Friday.
One millionth fan, a Brazilian man, visited the Fan Fest on Friday, and was followed by a boy from the Russian city of Kazan.
A ceremony was held at the fan zone to honor both guests.
"I would like to wish all teams good luck, but we, Russians, of course will be supporting our team," St. Petersburg Deputy Governor Vladimir Kirillov said at the ceremony.
The 64,500-seater St. Petersburg Stadium has hosted five World Cup matches so far and will also host a semi-final and the third-place match later in July.
