First World Cup match at Kazan Arena: spectators will be able to enter stadium 3 hours before match starts
Kazan hosts a 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ match on 16 June. The match between France and Australia will start at 13:00 at the Kazan Arena Stadium. Spectators can enter the stadium 3 hours before the first whistle – starting from 10:00. We advise you to come to the stadium in advance as you will need to pass security check-ups at the entrance to the venue. Do not forget that 4 hours before the match, e.g. at 9:00, the road traffic will be restricted and the stadium will be accessible only by foot. Hospitable volunteers will welcome the spectators by the stadium and will help everyone find their way to the seats.
To get access to the stadium and enjoy a 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ match, spectators need to have a ticket previously bought on FIFA.com/bilet and, of course, a FAN ID that you can apply for on www.fan-id.ru.
Official fan shops with souvenirs will be located at the stadium. There will be also food and drinks available for purchasing.
Before heading to the stadium, please read the Rule of Conduct at the stadium and the List of Prohibited Items. There, among the obvious taboos such as explosives, weapons, ammunition, knives, narcotics, flammables, and pyrotechnic substances, are some other items that are also banned at the venue. These are umbrellas that are longer than 25cm when closed, rollerblades, skateboards, kick scooters, folding chairs and benches. You can bring photo and video cameras as well as your mobile phones. Just remember that their use is allowed only for personal purposes.
