World Cup in Russia did not even began, but already begins to set new record - one year before the start. Last week FIFA has announced that for 2018 World Cup in Russia has drawn biggest number of recruiters. Unfortunately not all will become a part from the history.
The volunteer process was opened 01 June and closed 30 December 2016. Around 177.000 people like to help the biggest sporting event in the world. In comparison, 152.101 applications were received 4 years ago for the showdown in Brazil. Apart from the local recruiters more than a quarter from all candidates or 27 percent comes from all corners of the world - applications were sent from 190 different countries (except Russia). More than 5.500 will be available helping all guests for the Confederations Cup this summer, while for the main event - one year later over 15.000 volunteers.
In relation to this news, we all know that this year will be the last for all qualifying matches. Final draw will be made on 01 December in the State Kremlin palace in Moscow. This giant building with 6.000 seats will welcome all 32 teams at the grand ceremony.
