The FAN ID is an identification document which all ticket holders will need, together with a valid match ticket, in order to enter the stadiums hosting matches at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

FAN IDs will allow international visitors visa-free entry to the Russian Federation, starting 10 days before the tournament’s opening match and lasting until 10 days after the World Cup final. The system also provides the free use of public transport within and between World Cup host cities.

Football fans visiting Russia from other countries can obtain their FAN IDs through registered small parcel delivery, which they can order on the program’s official website, https://www.fan-id.ru, when submitting an application.
