Come to Russia with friends, family – Putin announces visa-free entrance

Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has said that Russia will provide
visa-free entrance for football fans with fan IDs until the end of
2018.

Putin was present in Moscow Luzhniki Stadium during the World Cup
final between France and Croatia yesterday.

France won the match 4-2 and lifted the trophy for the second time in history.

Putin told reporters yesterday, "I think that we will provide
visa-free entrance to Russia for foreign fans, who currently have fan
IDs, until the end of 2018. This will be a multiple entry visa-free
regime."

The Russian leader expressed hope that fans will take advantage of
this opportunity and "come to Russia more than once with friends and
members of their families."

Russia crashed out of the competition earlier after they lost to
eventual finalists, Croatia in the quarterfinals.
