Hi all, happy people Steemians! Our city welcomes football fans from all over the world. For the first time in history, the world Cup is held in Russia. I am very happy that my city takes part in such a world football festival. Perhaps our descendants will remember this joyful month and say: "Oh! How fortunate they were then that they could see it with their own eyes." Friends, this is our world championship!
Being a resident of this beautiful and hospitable city, I could not but make a report about this unique event. I have just returned from this festive event, which takes place almost around the clock in these football days. These are just some shots that I hope will show the amazing atmosphere of the holiday that now reigns in our streets.
Now the city is filled with crowds of football fans from Italy, Iran, Egypt and many other countries. Bored here just do not have to. Everywhere sounds incendiary music, happy and friendly smiles on the faces of people. All in anticipation of the future game. After all, tomorrow, June 19 will be a match of the group stage Russia-Egypt .
Fervent fans chant in their language in support of their national team; friendly volunteers ready to help everyone and of course this main symbol of the world championship is the most sporty wolf on the planet.
We are very lucky with the weather these days. We have very hot days now. Probably many did not expect it when going on this trip to our Northern city. But all come to the aid of sunglasses and delicious ice cream.
Arriving at this championship, our guests have time to make a lot of photos on the background of a very well-known and recognizable attractions; real fans do not miss the opportunity to talk about their favorite team. Now on the city streets you can see the flags of almost all countries. Everywhere you can see football paraphernalia.
The number of guests increases daily. The fans are eager to come to support the national teams of their countries. Three days later in St. Petersburg the next game of the group stage between the teams of Brazil and Costa Rica. In the meantime, you can take walks and excursions, sit in a cozy summer cafe and just chat. Dear friends, if any of you are also in St. Petersburg and would like to meet other Steemians, I would like to communicate with you with pleasure. Just let me know about it and I'll give you my contact phone number. You should know that there are Steemians in This city 😊
The FIFA fan zone in our city will work until the end of the championship. All those Of you who have not purchased tickets for matches for any reason will be able to watch the games on the big screen. The fan zone is open daily from 11:00 to 23: 00. and entry-free.
Football is more than a game. It's friendship and peace. In the meantime, just wish good luck to all teams. I am sure that our hospitality, our kindness and our desire to make a real football holiday for all of you will not disappoint all those who came to our wonderful city.
Thank you for Your attention and Your visit. I appreciate Your feedback and comments.

Wao, I an thrilled by all these photos, is indeed a historic moment for Russians as the world assemble in ur domain.
Even nature recognises this fact and endowed u guys with friendly weather unlike our expectations before the commencement of the world cup.
Thanks @madlenfox for this update
We do feel happy, but it is also a great responsibility. Of course we try to provide all the best that we have for all our guests. Thanks for stopping by @ugwudenis :)
Oh, No, we're looking at the big screen. I'm not too ready to sit there at the stadium, in addition, let our seats will get any other tourists and guests of our city. After all, many of them have come a long way to see it. May all the best be for our guests. I spent a lot of time today in the atmosphere of this holiday. So many wonderful people came to our city. I even agreed to this photo with fans from Egypt (the last photo in the post :). They are really big fans of their team.
My daughter-in-law, who is from Sochi, was here for the weekend and it was too hot here to do anything except watch football. She is so proud that Russia is hosting this extravaganza, and we had so much fun watching the games!
Yes, we are indeed very proud now. It's so nice and at the same time very responsible. We will remember this pleasant time. I understand your daughter-in-law's feelings. It's very touching to understand being involved in such an event. Thanks @ melinda010100 :)
Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)
Check the rules of the Daily Spotlights if you want to nominate someone!
It is very unusual to be inside such a big event, we are all living in a state of constant carnival. The city is not sleeping. Everything else is added and white nights, which are now in full swing. The darkness comes about only for a couple of hours, and then again daylight. We start to confuse day and night :). Thank you for watching my story.
@ jlufer, Thank you for your attention. Of course we are glad to see so many guests who were able to come to our city. This is a great holiday for all the participants :)
Hermosa. Toda la ciudad, el colorido. Debe ser grandioso estar en tu país en cualquier momento, en estos días del mundial debe ser la felicidad absoluta. 😉
Abrazos para ti.
@anomadsoul de Steemit está por allá junto a otros chicos ojalá se encuentren.
@slwzl, Gracias por sus amables palabras. Ahora las miradas de todos los aficionados al fútbol están pegados a este grandioso evento. Sí, sé que se encuentra @anomadsoul en rusia. Pero él está presente en este campeonato en moscú. El campeonato se celebra en 11 ciudades de nuestro país. :)
Agree with you completely @madlenfox, organising the world's top most event is ultimate feeling. Infact the crowd , the playgrounds and the atmosphere is wonderful.
and way Russian team played against saudi arabia was amazing to see.
Looking forward for win against egypt, to qualify for next round.

I was wondering how you were getting on with the World Cup in your city and now I know. 😁
Great photographs that give a really good idea of what's going on.
Are you going to any matches or watching on the big screen?
Oh, No, we're looking at the big screen. I'm not too ready to sit there at the stadium, in addition, let our seats will get any other tourists and guests of our city. After all, many of them have come a long way to see it. May all the best be for our guests. I spent a lot of time today in the atmosphere of this holiday. So many wonderful people came to our city.

I was wondering if that was you in the photograph @madlenfox. It's nice to see you!
it reminds me a bit of when we held the Olympics in the UK. The atmosphere was great
Looks like you're going to have good fun for the next few weeks! 😊
My daughter-in-law, who is from Sochi, was here for the weekend and it was too hot here to do anything except watch football. She is so proud that Russia is hosting this extravaganza, and we had so much fun watching the games!

Greta photos must be such an experience having the world cup there I have caught a few of the game son TV but seeing it live must be amazing
