The trains will bring fans from Moscow, Kazan, Volgograd, Nizhny Novgorod and Saransk. Citizens of more than 60 countries will come to watch this match that is important for Russia," Polyakov said.

According to the directorate, eight free trains will help about 5,000 spectators to leave the city after the game.

"The majority of the passengers who will come to Samara for this match are Russians, there are also fans from China, England, Switzerland and 60 other countries. About 300 fans from Uruguay will also come to support their national team," Polyakov added.

Russia and Uruguay, who have 6 points each and have already booked their spots in the round of 16, will play their last group-stage encounter at the Samara Arena later on Monday. The other two Group A teams, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, who lost their two previous games, will play in Volgograd also on Monday.
