June 2018 · 3 min read

Hi all, happy people Steemians! Our city welcomes football fans from all over the world. For the first time in history, the world Cup is held in Russia. I am very happy that my city takes part in such a world football festival. Perhaps our descendants will remember this joyful month and say: "Oh! How fortunate they were then that they could see it with their own eyes." Friends, this is our world championship!

Being a resident of this beautiful and hospitable city, I could not but make a report about this unique event. I have just returned from this festive event, which takes place almost around the clock in these football days. These are just some shots that I hope will show the amazing atmosphere of the holiday that now reigns in our streets.



Now the city is filled with crowds of football fans from Italy, Iran, Egypt and many other countries. Bored here just do not have to. Everywhere sounds incendiary music, happy and friendly smiles on the faces of people. All in anticipation of the future game. After all, tomorrow, June 19 will be a match of the group stage Russia-Egypt .



Fervent fans chant in their language in support of their national team; friendly volunteers ready to help everyone and of course this main symbol of the world championship is the most sporty wolf on the planet.

We are very lucky with the weather these days. We have very hot days now. Probably many did not expect it when going on this trip to our Northern city. But all come to the aid of sunglasses and delicious ice cream.
