Russia 2018 host cities to be inspected by FIFA

FIFA will make a decision on which cities will host matches at the Russia 2018 World Cup this September, the body has announced recently.

Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Sochi and Yekaterinburg are all set to be confirmed as host cities for the World Cup later this year, while other candidates include Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Volgograd, Samara, Saransk, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslavl and Kaliningrad.

FIFA will be given a two-and-a-half month tour from April around the potential host cities ahead of the announcement.
