In Russia, a safe environment for fans to enjoy the Beautiful Game

Moscow

ARMED with four match tickets, lots of paraphernalia and bellies of passion, I joined a group of 16 other Singaporeans to head to Russia to watch the World Cup.

We departed on June 14 - the first day of the month-long tournament - to begin our two-week adventure. Admittedly, although I was excited at the prospect of going to football's holy grail once again, I had my doubts over whether the trip would be a success.
