The Confederations Cup proved the reliability
of the FAN ID system. The Russian Federation
was the first in the world to make use of this
technology. I am certain that the technology
used for implementing FAN ID at the World Cup will become an industrial standard».

In June-July 2017 in Moscow four
Confederations Cup matches were held.
I would like to note that not a single violation
of racism or discrimination was reported.
There is no doubt that the FAN ID system made this possible. This is very important workÂť.

FAN ID is a unique product created in Russia.
With this document, fans will be able to visit
our country without a visa and travel around it
for free. We've thought of everything: fans will be
able to arrive four hours before a match and then leave for another city a few hours after the match is over».

Before the World Cup, foreign mass media expressed many
concerns. We are happy that all the negative stereotypes were
destroyed after their arrival here. Everyone saw the diversity
of Russia and our hospitality. The FAN ID system received
the highest marks and the host cities excellently prepared
the infrastructure for the Championship. And what is most important, the celebration was a success. We are receiving rave reviews about the Championship – from teams, from fans and from officials. Everyone is happy that this celebration of football is happening here in Russia».
