"The leaders in the number of fans who are coming to Russia for the World Cup are from Latin American countries such as Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Panama and others… For example, more than 20,000 Peruvian fans are expected [at the World Cup]. It looks like the whole country is preparing for the tournament," Yerkina said.

She noted that the German fans were one of the most active in buying tickets for the World Cup.

​FSE is an independent, representative and democratically organized grassroots network of football fans' in Europe with members in 42 countries across the continent.
