Alexei Sorokin

It's already a great success, we have had lots of positive reactions from the different teams, fans and delegations. It's going well. For now, things are good.

He has always been a friend of our country, we are certain everything he's doing is for the good of FIFA to which he has dedicated his life.

We are organizing World Cup 2018 in Russia, whether someone has an attitude towards that or not. World Cup 2018 will be in Russia in 2018, world Cup 2018 was the will of the then deciding body in FIFA... we still think that we had a very good, sound bid. We had a great concept and story to tell and we are implementing World Cup 2018 now.
