As Vladimir Panov, the mayor of Nizhny Novgorod, said in a local press center, the city is expecting a sports boom.

“The 2018 FIFA World Cup will boost Nizhny Novgorod’s sports development in two ways: the construction of local infrastructure to promote a healthy lifestyle and the development of major sports facilities,” Vladimir Panov said.
