The round of 16 game will be played later on Monday and will become the last World Cup match to take place at the 43,500-seater Rostov Arena.

"Over 30,000 supporters have arrived in Rostov-on-Don, including more than 5,000 foreign fans, with 1,000 fans from Belgium and 1,000 fans from Japan," said city official Igor Guskov.

He added that fans rooting for other countries, including England and Poland, had expected their teams to reach the last 16, but "Japan and Russia worked a miracle."
