According to Golodets, a total of 269 infrastructure facilities were built in Russia ahead of the World Cup.

"First of all, these are the stadiums, I remind you that 12 stadiums and 95 new training grounds were part of the tournament. A total of 64 of these will be reconstructed for the development of children's football according to the Concept of the World Cup legacy," Golodets said during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The deputy prime minister added that the renovated infrastructure would boost the development of tourism in the country.

"We expect that the improvement of infrastructure... will create a stable base for a new tourist flow of both inbound and domestic tourism," Golodets said.
