The FIFA Football Conference on the outcome of the 2018 FIFA World Cup will be held on 23 September 2018 in London. FIFA has invited the head coaches and technical directors of all 211 member associations, as well as the technical experts of all six confederations to the conference.
The purpose of the conference is to analyse FIFA’s flagship competition from a technical and tactical point of view, identify trends and compare the main findings with previous editions of the FIFA World Cup based on the report by FIFA’s Technical Study Group. The event will also comprise discussions about the implementation of VAR and its impact on the game.
Russia hosted the 2018 World Cup from June 14 to July 15, with matches held in eleven Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Saransk, Kaliningrad, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Samara.
The national football team of hosts Russia managed to make it to the quarterfinals stage of this world championship, where Croatia edged them out in a 4-3 penalty shootout win on July 7 at the Fisht Arena in Sochi. The World Cup ended with a final match at the Luzhniki Stadium, where France confidently defeated Croatia 4-2 to win the much-coveted World Cup Trophy.
