FIFA President Gianni Infantino was impressed with Russia’s preparations for the 2018 World Cup, stating that everything is going according to the plan.
"I am impressed with what is going on in football in this country, not only with staging the FIFA World Cup but also the Russian Football Union's plans when it comes to football development," Infantino said, according to the FIFA official website.
On Tuesday, Infantino went to Moscow for the first time as the president of FIFA to meet with Russian football officials and see how the overall progress is taking place, Sputnik reported.
Infantio was elected as president of FIFA in February after Joseph Blatter announced his resignation from the position amid an ongoing corruption scandal involving the organization.
