The Russia 2018 team have said they’ve learned lessons from watching
the European Championships in France - particularly in regard to
security and the quality of the pitches.
The 2018 organising committee took the chance to observe the last major international tournament before their own event.
Many commentators criticised the handling of the security in France,
which led to several groups of fans fighting, both in and out the
stadiums.
Deputy CEO of Russia 2018 Alexander Djordjadze admitted this was one of the main lessons his team would take away from France:
"Every tournament gives an opportunity to learn something. France
was a good example for us, in many respects, mainly in operational
matters. Of course security will be taken to a higher level, after what
we saw there. From a technical point of view, I think it is a good
tournament in France, we had our experts in France, in all the stadia.
Maybe the pitches will be emphasised as a very important aspect in the
organisation of the World Cup. Certainly France was a good example for
us.
