Good afternoon.
Today we are holding a joint meeting of the Council for [the Development of Physical Culture and] Sport
and the Supervisory Board of the 2018 Russia Organising Committee's Supervisory Board.
I suggest we discuss the issues of the heritage of the FIFA World Cup.
And this heritage is really large, if not enormous.
I am referring not only to sports arenas, airports, roads, infrastructure facilities and the development of our cities but also
to the humanitarian, human dimension, the growth in interest of the younger generation and basically people of all ages in sport,
the friendly attitude of people from different countries towards Russia and their desire to return to this country again.
Of course, like after the Sochi Olympic Games, we need to map out specific measures that will allow us to effectively use these modern stadiums, fields and sports grounds that we built for the World Cup.
For Russia, the World Cup has been the biggest international sporting event.
The preparations took eight years.
It required serious investment and the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people.
As promised, we organised it at the highest level and its success is now an objectively recognised fact.
I congratulate all those who were involved in the preparations and management of the games.
I would like to thank once again everyone: workers, engineers, city press centres, and the hospitality industry, and all those that ensured the security of the arenas and streets, transport and the fan fest zones.
I would like to give special thanks to the regions that hosted the games, their governors, the 2018 Russia Organising Committee and, of course, our wonderful volunteers.
I have already had the pleasure of meeting with them; some of them are here.
Thank you very much.
Russia gave the world an unforgettable holiday.
It has already gone down in history as one of the most spectacular and unpredictable from the sporting point of view,
and also the most comprehensive FIFA World Cup, and will forever be remembered for its unmatched atmosphere of friendliness and unity, and acts of empathy and assistance from all sides.
I consider it important to establish a commemorative FIFA World Cup in Russia medal and use it to decorate those who made a significant contribution to this ambitious project.
I would like to note the solid and uncompromising play of our team, which gave Russian fans the long-awaited joy of victory.
Where is the coach?
Mr Cherchesov, thank you very much.
The head coach, the entire coaching staff and the support system, and the players themselves – everyone fought hard.
Everyone did their best and played as a team.
They impressed us with their perseverance, persistence and high quality of play.
It is important to maintain that fighting spirit and unity.
The UEFA Nations League and UEFA Euro 2020 are coming next.
We should be training for these games the same way we trained for the World Cup, not just players and coaches.
As you may be aware, several UEFA Nations League and UEFA Euro 2020 matches will be held in St Petersburg, Sochi, Rostov-on-Don and here in Kaliningrad.
I would like the relevant agencies, regional heads to ensure the quality of these events, especially since we now have this great positive experience
and unique innovations that our country has implemented and which received high praise from FIFA and World Cup visitors.
That includes, among other things, the video assistant referee (VAR) system, which was used for the first time during the football championship and implemented by our specialists,
and also the free travel for ticket holders to the host cities to attend matches during the championship and, most importantly, the visa-replacing Fan ID cards.
Please analyse all the regulations adopted specifically for the championship for their possible capturing in legislation for subsequent use,
for creating convenient conditions for our people and for our foreign guests, with a special focus on the Fan ID.
Many countries and international organisations plan to adopt our experience, and we must build on it in any way we can.
Director of the FSB, Mr Bortnikov, who is here, reported that our colleagues, that we worked with in security, showed great interest in our plan.
Also, Fan IDs can be used to update the visa regulations, which we should do anyway, to remove the barriers and procedures that are a hassle for people.
Importantly, the championship not only eliminated stereotypes but also raised a wave of genuine interest in Russia,
which, I repeat, along with the growing popularity of football, is a landmark of its intangible legacy.
I am sure that we must show an example of openness and support the wish of thousands of fans to return to our country
and learn more about our culture, nature and the traditions of our families, relatives and children.
It has already been decided to extend visa-free travel for Fan ID holders until January 1 of next year.
Also, there are other ideas for improving the visa regime.
We will talk about this later.
The infrastructure that we created, the arenas, have received positive feedback from FIFA, the teams, the spectators, the journalists and our citizens.
Obviously, these World Cup facilities must continue operating at full capacity after the World Cup.
This is what they were built for.
I ask you to bear in mind the task of effectively using this sports infrastructure when working on amendments to the federal budget for 2018 and to reflect it in the budget for 2019–2021.
We will continue supporting World Cup infrastructure development programmes for five years to help them become self-sufficient by 2024
and serve as centres for the development of the cities, as well as social, business and cultural life.
Here, we can rely on our own experience of effectively managing the heritage of major international sports competitions and take advantage of the best international practices.
We will discuss this at length today as well.
Among other things, I ask the Ministry of Sport to report on the mechanisms and schedules for the transfer of the training facilities
and stadiums to the regions and on the establishment of children's football centres that we planned to set up on the basis of the World Cup infrastructure.
In conclusion, two more important points related to sports in general.
First, I would like to note the effectiveness of the independent public anti-doping commission headed by IOC honorary member Vitaly Smirnov.
The goals that we set have been achieved and the constructive requirements set forth by WADA and the IOC have been taken into account.
We are fulfilling our national plan to fight doping in sports.
And we expect our partners to take reciprocal steps.
Second, the new membership of the Council and the new format of its activity have been approved.
Four interdepartmental commissions have been envisaged: on coordination, control, international competitions, and the promotion of adaptive sports.
And also, three working groups: on security, the development of sports medicine and the improvement of sports legislation.
I am happy to welcome the Council's new members and want to wish them every success.
Let's get down to work.
Mr Kolobkov, you have the floor.
But before we start, I would like to congratulate all the chess players in our country and the whole world on International Chess Day.
I would like to say in conclusion thatthis project was a success.
We should not treat it as the completion of something, but rather the beginning of something new and large-scale, for which we have the experience, capacity and need.
The main thing is to continue to act in the same spirit for a long time to come.
As for football, I have already mentioned this but I want to repeat it: serious matches are coming up soon.
The first tournament of the UEFA Nations League will take place from September 2018 until June 2019 (it is common knowledge, actually).
It will be held once every two years.
Let me draw your attention to how it will be organised.
The teams will be distributed in four leagues, A, B, C and D depending on their level and ability.
According to the rating, the Russian national team got into group B.
According to the results of the draw, the Russian team's rivals are the Swedish and Turkish national teams,
while our rivals in the centralised friendly matches, which will be sponsored by UEFA now, are the teams of the Czech Republic and Germany.
These are really major matches.
Now the qualifying tournament for the UEFA European Championship.
Let me remind you, the draw to determine the make-up of the entry list will take place in Dublin on December 2, 2018, qualifying matches will take place from March 21 until November 19, 2019,
and the final stage UEFA-Euro 2020 will be held in 12 European cities, St Petersburg included, from June 12 until July 12, 2020.
We have plenty to do when it comes to football.
Certainly, everything we mentioned today in addition to football and even what we did not mention,
representatives of various sports are here today and we will do everything together and work together.
Following today's meeting we will draft a list of relevant instructions.
Thank you all very much.
