Yuri Balakhnin, the minister for sports of the Rostov Oblast, said that the Rostov hippodrome would be the best place for a fan zone during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Yuga.ru reports.
A FIFA delegation will decide whether to approve his idea or not. It may also form a fan zone on the left bank of the River Don. Teatralnaya and Fontannaya Squares have been listed as fan zones in the candidate file of Rostov-on-Don.
