  • ROC President shared his impressions about the 2018 FIFA World Cup final match, in which the French team defeated Croatia with a score of 4:2.

    Stanislav Pozdnyakov:

    – The final turned out to be as bright, extraordinary, memorable as the whole World Cup. I would like to congratulate Franch and Croatia teams on the great match, and the French on the well-deserved title!

    The match itself gave the fans a wide variety of football highlights, such as a penalty, and the own goal, and an amazing goalkeeping error, and cool goals. I am sure such football was a real pleasure for the audience.

    However, the main winner of the championship was Russia. Our country has organized and staged such a fabulous sports event! This was constantly discussed during the month by fans from different countries, honored guests, sports officials and government officials. No one wanted this championship to end, which means that it was a complete success.

    And this is probably the most important result. Along with the excellent performance of our team.
