Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the FIFA World Cup Football Park in Moscow's Red Square earlier today.
Putin was accompanied by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, CEO of the Russia 2018 Local Organising Committee Alexey Sorokin and Presidential Aide Igor Levitin.
Putin visited the pavilion where the World Cup trophy is exhibited and a football pitch where he made a symbolic kick of a ball.
The Football Park, a festival traveling around the Russian cities hosting this summer's FIFA World Cup, opened in Moscow on 21 June.
The Russian capital is the last city to welcome the Football Park that was previously held in Sochi, Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd, Saransk, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad.
