The uniforms of the 2018 FIFA World Cup volunteers were unveiled in Yekaterinburg's Football Park on Monday.
According to the image on the official 2018 World Cup Organizing Committee's Twitter account, the uniform includes a red hooded jacket and sweatshirt emblazoned with the tournament symbol on the left breast, and "volunteer" spelled out in large gold lettering along the right side. The uniform also includes blue pants and a red cap and backpack, all with the official logo.
More than 17,000 volunteers have been recruited to work at the tournament, which will be held across 11 Russian cities from June 14 to July 15.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
