FIFA from the eyes of a novice

Belonging to the land of people who consider cricket as their "religion", I ended up on the land of football maniacs. Yes, its 2018 and football World Cup has fasten the heartbeats of FIFA countries. Considering the fact that on a pure coincidence, I happen to be in Russia, which is the host country this year.

I decided to take a walk around the center just to see how things are rolling and then I find this,

Fans and locals gathered around the center, to celebrate the spirit of FIFA

Team supporters from Argentina, Iran, Australia, Morocco, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Russia of course, formed a pompous environment. the zeal and energy was something that I experienced for the first time. in short, I just fell in love with the people and atmosphere.

Russia has loosen up the visa restrictions this year which has resulted in increased tourism during football world Cup. Country's capital and major cities where matches are to be held are expecting over 1 million fans this season. And In  my opinion 1 million is just a small number. Many tourists from non-football playing countries are also taking the benefit of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Fans all over are drenched in the spirit of football. For once even I started believing that football is the religion above all. (Just kidding)

Such devotion

A number of news channels, video bloggers, photographers and bloggers (like me) had arrived to the boiling pot to experience the taste and spirit of this "grand festival".

Although I am a novice at football, having knowledge next to the size of a pea I felt pumped up, so I can imagine what a football devoted person must have been feeling.
