2018 WORLD CUP Host Cities


2018 WORLD CUP Venues

2018 WORLD CUP VENUESHOST CITY: KALININGRAD | HOST STADIUM: KALININGRAD STADIUMAlthough its dramatic history goes back over 750 years, the city of Kaliningrad was largely destroyed during World War Two. It was promptly rebuilt and played an important part in the Cold War. As a result, the architecture is an interesting mix of old and new with the oldest building dating back to the 13th century. The city of over 430,000 is rich in culture with a number of museums and theatres. Its appeal extends to nature lovers as well, as the region has plenty of pristine beaches and untouched forests. Its location just south of Lithuania on an inlet of the Baltic Sea results in a mild climate, with June and July conveniently being the best time to visit.

Fans taking in a game in Kaliningrad will be treated to a brand new venue, Kaliningrad Stadium. The design of the new stadium is based on Allianz Arena in Munich, which hosted some World Cup games of its own in 2006. The 35,000-seat, open-air stadium is scheduled to begin construction in 2015, with a completion date in late 2017.

HOST CITY: KAZAN | HOST STADIUM: KAZAN ARENAKazan is a lively university city (population 1.3 million) with one of the highest standards of living in Russia, In fact, it could be considered one of the most widely appealing cities on the World Cup schedule in 2018. Tourism here is on the rise with plenty to see from historical buildings (Kazan recently celebrated its millennium) to live opera or ballet to trendy restaurants and boutiques. As one of Russia’s sports capitals, it’s a fantastic city to spend time in during the World Cup.

Kazan Arena, completed in 2013, is a modern entertainment venue, complete with offices, corporate event space, a variety of food options, shopping and a fitness area; no wonder it’s also known as a ‘city in the city.’ The unique arena seats around 45,000 and is easily recognizable due to its massive HD screen adorning the front of the building.

HOST CITY: MOSCOW | HOST STADIUM: LUZHNIKI STADIUM AND SPARTAK STADIUMWith twice as many people as its closest competitor (Saint Petersburg), Moscow is the largest city in Russia. It’s modern, yet steeped in history and this attractive combination is a big reason it sees more than 4 million tourists every year. For most visitors, Red Square is the first stop in Moscow but there is so much more to see in this global city. While the mere mention of Moscow conjures up an image of ice and snow for many, the summers are warm but not too hot, perfect for sightseeing or taking in a match.

Moscow is the only city at this World Cup with more than one venue. Spartak Stadium (also known as Otkritie Arena) is the newer of the two, having opened in 2014 with capacity for 45,000 spectators. Home to the Spartak Football Club, the stadium’s distinctive red and white exterior pays homage to the team. The iconic Luzhniki Stadium is both the oldest and largest stadium in the tournament and will host the opening match, a semifinal and the World Cup Final on July 15th. This 81,000-seat stadium has witnessed plenty of history in the making, including the 1980 Summer Games.



2018 WORLD CUP VENUESHOST CITY: NIZHNY NOVGOROD | HOST STADIUM: STRELKA STADIUMWith a growing population of 1.3 million, Nizhny Novgorod (or more commonly Nizhny) is Russia’s fifth-largest city and one of the country’s business, transportation, and cultural capitals. Beautiful Nizhny is located at the confluence of the Volga and the Oka Rivers. Though there are over 600 historic, architectural, and cultural monuments to explore, the highlight is the city’s Kremlin. This impressive 500-year-old fortress overlooking the Volga is surrounded by an equally impressive 2-kilometer wall.

Like many of the 2018 World Cup Stadiums, Nizhny Novgorod Stadium is currently under construction and scheduled to open shortly before the tournament. Nizhny’s brand new stadium will boast one of the best locations in the city, overlooking the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral where the Volga and Oka Rivers meet.

HOST CITY: ROSTOV-ON-DON | HOST STADIUM: LEVBERDON ARENAThis modern city of over 1 million inhabitants could almost be described as eccentric. Where else can you find monuments to a water pipe or newspaper reader? Though Rostov-On-Don may have its idiosyncrasies, it really is a fun and unique place to visit; take a scenic stroll along the riverside; spend an afternoon shopping for anything and everything at the Central Rinok (Bazaar), or take in a performance at the Rostov State Opera and Ballet.

Levberdon Arena is named after its location on the left bank of the River Don. This stadium, which is scheduled to be completed in late 2017 will be home to the Premier League’s Rostov Football Club.

HOST CITY: ST PETERSBURG | HOST STADIUM: ZENIT ARENASecond only to Moscow in size, Saint Petersburg is a picturesque port city on the Baltic Sea. Though it has long lived under the shadow of its larger counterpart, St. Petersburg has emerged as an appealing destination in its own right with a burgeoning arts and music scene. This modern city has 342 bridges atop its rivers and canals, not surprisingly earning it comparisons to Venice. The city is a feast for the senses, one of the highlights being the Hermitage Museum and the Winter Palace complex, which houses over 3 million pieces of art from around the globe.

Future home to FC Zenit Saint Petersburg, the new Zenit Arena is scheduled to open in 2016, eight years after construction began. The design of the stadium was decided by a competition, which was won by Kisho Kurokawa Architect & Associates for their ’spaceship’ submission. The arena will hold close to 70,000 fans, one of the largest in the tournament.



2018 WORLD CUP VENUESHOST CITY: SAMARA | HOST STADIUM: COSMOS ARENAMost people don’t associate Russia with beaches but Samara’s lovely beaches may just be the city’s biggest attraction. During the warm summer months, locals and visitors alike gather on the sandy shores of the Volga to sunbathe, swim, or stroll along the beach. It’s a great atmosphere with plenty of cafés and beer tents to be found. If the beach isn’t your thing, this city of almost 1.2 million has plenty of other attractions to take in during your World Cup experience.

Construction on the ambitious Cosmos Arena began in July 2015 with completion scheduled in the summer of 2017. Complete with a monorail that will shuttle fans to and from the matches, the stadium will be an architectural marvel. It is designed to resemble a gem, an 80-meter high dome of translucent glass panels. Cosmos Arena will seat approximately 45,000 people and will be home to the Premier League’s Krylia Sovetov Samara Football Club.

HOST CITY: SARANSK | HOST STADIUM: MORDOVIA ARENAWith a population of just under 340,000, Saransk will be one of the smaller host cities at the 2018 World Cup. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in beauty. Located on the Saranka River, this European-influenced city has plenty of historical buildings, theaters, museums, and well-maintained parks. Saransk is also well-known for its sporting achievements, and is the hometown of many Olympic and World champions.

Specially for the World Cup, the city of Saransk is building an arena much bigger than they would otherwise need. Seating capacity for the World Cup will be in the 45,000 range, though the upper level seating will later be dismantled, resulting in a permanent seating capacity of approximately 28,000. The empty space will be filled with shops and leisure space. Located on the banks of the River Insar, the stadium’s design is built to resemble a solar sphere.

HOST CITY: SOCHI | HOST STADIUM: FISHT OLYMPIC STADIUMSports fans will fondly remember Sochi as the successful host of the 2014 Winter Games. It’s Russia’s largest resort city, flanked by the majestic Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea. As the southernmost city at the 2018 World Cup, it has a mild climate that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. It’s a great place to try your hand at some adventure sports like mountain climbing or hang-gliding but also an idyllic spot to relax and lounge by the pool.

Home to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies at the 2014 Winter Games, the 40,000 seat Fisht Olympic Stadium will host 4 group stage matches, as well as a round of 16 match and a quarter-final match. The roof of the stadium, which was designed to look like snowy peaks for the Winter Games, has been partially removed to open it up for the World Cup tournament.



2018 WORLD CUP VENUESHOST CITY: VOLGOGRAD | HOST STADIUM: CENTRAL STADIUMFormerly known as Stalingrad, the city is perhaps best known for the infamous battle that took place there during the second World War. Since then, the city was completely rebuilt and renamed. Present-day Volgograd has plenty to see and do. A visit to the Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex is a must-do, but the city is also well-known for its eco-tourism (due to its proximity to the Volga-Akhtubin floodplains) and its magnificent Soviet Baroque architecture.

Volgograd’s Central Stadium is currently under construction on the site of its old stadium, which was recently demolished to make room. This modern-looking stadium will have capacity for 45,000 fans and a unique, colorful roof which will be held in place with steel cables, similar to the method used in suspension bridges.

HOST CITY: YEKATERINBURG | HOST STADIUM: CENTRAL STADIUMWith a population of 1.3 million, Yekaterinburg is Russia’s fourth largest city but it tops the list when it comes to unusual attractions. Among them are the mafia cemetery (complete with graves decorated with life-size images of late mafia members), and the circus building which is home to exactly the kinds of shows one would expect upon hearing the name. The strangest attraction however, is the QWERTY Monument, a giant keyboard replica built out of concrete blocks.

When Central Stadium in Yekaterinburg first opened in 1957, its seating capacity of 27,000 made it one of the largest in the world. While no one would describe the stadium as such in the present day, the stadium remains impressive nonetheless, and is one of only a few existing stadiums that will host World Cup matches in 2018. It is currently undergoing an extensive renovation in preparation for the iconic tournament. The improvements include the addition of 17,000 seats, 2 new metro lines, a press center, as well as improvements to the food vendors and security system.

FINALS3RD PLACE & FINALS


Upon payment of the deposit, the buyers and travelers agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions. Additional terms and an accelerated payment schedule may apply for guests of our Summer Games, Winter Games and World Cup programs. Please refer to the specific product brochure for each of these events for additional terms and conditions.

Roadtrips and sponsoring representative(s) (collectively “Roadtrips”) are acting solely as agents. Roadtrips is responsible for making the arrangements for accommodations, services and event tickets that constitute the travel package, except to the extent that those accommodations, services or event tickets cannot be supplied or become no longer available for reasons beyond Roadtrips’ control.

Roadtrips shall not be liable, for any personal injury, property damage, inconvenience, loss of time, or any other loss or damage, direct or indirect, arising out of any act, omission or negligence of any direct air carrier, motor coach company, hotel or any other person rendering any service or providing any accommodation or event in conjunction with the travel package. Roadtrips shall not be liable, for any injury, loss or damage, direct or indirect, sustained as a result of theft, accident, mechanical breakdown, government action, weather, act of God, failure to make timely payments, or any other reason beyond Roadtrips’ control. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS Roadtrips requires written notification of cancellation from the traveler. Cancellation notifications received before final payment is due are subject to a cancellation fee equal to the deposit pay-ments. Cancellations received after final payment is due are subject to a cancellation fee equal to 100% of package amount. All travel documents, if issued, must be returned to Roadtrips prior to any refund being issued. Refunds shall not be given for unused travel services or any portion thereof. If cancellation by one or more travelers alters the room requirements of the remaining travelers, travelers still traveling may be required to pay a revised rate. Unless otherwise stated in the purchase order, group bookings are 100% non cancelable and non refundable.

We regret that we cannot make exceptions for personal emergencies. We recommend that you consider purchasing tour cancellation insurance. Exceptions to this policy cannot be made for any reason, including weather, acts of God, terrorism, civil unrest, personal or medical emergencies. CHANGES TO BOOKING Any changes to traveler’s booking requested more than 60 days prior to event date are subject to a $100 administration fee per change made. Any changes within 60 days of the event are subject to full cancellation charges. Re-sale of all Roadtrips packages is strictly prohibited without the express written consent of Roadtrips. Permitted re-sales are subject to a 15% transfer and changes fee based on the original purchase price of the package. DOCUMENTATION AND PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION It is the responsibility of each individual traveler to obtain the documentation required for their trip such as passports, visas, birth certificates and photo identification. Travelers entering the United States and Canada are required to show a passport for entry. Those denied at any border will not be entitled to any refund. CANADIAN GOODS & SERVICES TAX Travel packages occurring solely in the following Canadian provinces/territories are subject to 5% Canadian Goods and Services Tax: Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. Travel packages occurring in the following Canadian provinces/territories are subject to Harmonized Sales Tax at the following rates: Ontario 13%, Prince Edward Island 14%, New Brunswick 13%, Newfoundland and Labrador 13%, and Nova Scotia 15%. Non-residents of Canada may be able to submit a visitor tax refund form to receive a portion of their tax back on their sports travel package. HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS Traveler agrees to be responsible for all incidental charges incurred in excess of those covered by the package. Incidental charges can include food, beverages, telephone use, internet use, parking fees, and other hotel charges. All hotels require a credit card or deposit for incidental charges at time of check-in. Hotels expect departing guests to vacate rooms by 12 noon and arriving guests to check-in later than 3pm to allow for cleaning and maid service. Host hotels do their best to mini-

mize inconvenience and store luggage if you arrive early or need to depart late. Roadtrips reserves the right to substitute confirmed hotels with comparable accommodations at either their own or the hotel’s discretion. Accommodations are subject to availability. Names of travelers staying in the Hotel must be provided to Roadtrips 30 days prior to travel. Late names, or name changes, that occur inside 30 days of travel will be charged a $50.00/room fee. Late names, or name changes, that occur inside 14 days of travel will be charged a $75.00/room fee.

TICKETS Unless stated otherwise, Roadtrips is not and does not hold itself out to be the official ticket box office for the events in any travel package. Upon payment of the deposit, traveler acknowledges that Roadtrips often pays a premium to obtain tickets to sold out events and that Roadtrips ac-cesses tickets from a variety of sources that may or may not include the official ticket sales chan-nel and secondary ticket market sources. Traveler hereby gives permission to Roadtrips to use its best judgment and experience and all available ticket sources to provide the tickets included in the travel package. In the event that Roadtrips is not able to provide tickets ordered, or a reasonably comparable alternative, Roadtrips will reimburse the traveler an amount equal to the amount paid by the traveler for the tickets purchased but not delivered. This reimbursement will constitute the full and final extent of Roadtrips obligation to the traveler in respect to the non-delivery and any loss or damage, direct or indirect, arising there from. CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS Traveler’s authorization to use his credit card number for deposit and/or final payments indicates his complete compliance with our booking terms and conditions, whether or not traveler has actually signed the appropriate draft. Verbal authorization of traveler’s credit card confirms traveler’s reservation. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, checks and Electronic Funds Transfer are all acceptable forms of payments. All payments made by check should be made payable to Roadtrips, Inc. Some credit card companies may impose a “Foreign Transaction Fee” even though your transaction is denominated in U.S. dollars. This is an arbitrary fee that occurs in a small number of cases and accrues entirely to the credit card–issuing bank. Roadtrips does not control these bank-imposed fees nor does Roadtrips derive any benefit from them, monetary or otherwise; we are therefore unable to accept responsibility for the fees. PAYMENT RULES Please refer to the event specific payment schedules at www.roadtrips.com and/or in Roadtrips marketing documents. The initial deposit payment can be made by wire transfer, bank check, or credit card. All subsequent payments of $10,000 or more must be made by wire transfer, bank check, or personal check. All Credit Card payments greater than $10,000.00, with the exception of the initial deposit, are subject to a fee of 2.65%. Late payments are subject to a late payment fee of 2.5% of the total outstanding balance of the invoice. This fee is automatically assessed at the point where a payment is past due. Payments that are more than 14 days in arrears are subject to immediate cancellation of the entire invoice with no refund. AIRLINE RESERVATIONS AND CHANGES Roadtrips has no affiliation with any airline. Any airline reservations done on a traveler’s behalf by Roadtrips are subject to the applicable airline rules and regulations, changes and cancellation poli-cies. Traveler is advised to contact their airline 12 hours before departure and again 4 to 6 hours to re-confirm departure time. AFFILIATION Roadtrips is not affiliated with any sports team, league, association or organization, unless otherwise stated. JURISDICTION These terms and conditions shall be governed by the law of the Province of Manitoba and of Canada where applicable. Any disputes regarding these terms and conditions shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of the Province of Manitoba, Canada.

I have read, fully understand and agree to be bound contractually with Roadtrips by these terms and conditions.
