The controvertial selection of Russia as the host nation for the 2018 World Cup ruffled a few feathers amongst FIFA assosciations, namely the English FA, but the competition will go ahead regardless and photos of the proposed stadiums to host the group matches have recently surfaced.
Some of the stadiums such as the Luzhniki stadium and Fisht Olympic Stadium are already built, but others look like something straight out of a futuristic utopia where robots live and interact with human beings. Whether these stadiums will be ready for Russia 2018 remains to be seen.
