After the closing ceremony, the chief referee of the match will bring out two best teams tournament on the field, which will compete for victory in the 21st FIFA World Cup.
Brief information about the Luzhniki Stadium
The final decision on the venue for the final match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup was made on December 14, 2012 after a meeting of the FIFA Executive Committee in Tokyo (Japan). The Luzhniki Stadium was opened in 1956, and was mainly used to host matches of the USSR national football team, and later the Russian national team. Also, at different times he was home arena for Moscow football clubs such as Spartak, Torpedo and CSKA.
In 1980, Luzhniki hosted summer olympics. If we consider football competitions, the stadium hosted the UEFA Cup final in 1999 and the UEFA Champions League final in 2008.
At the 2018 World Cup, Luzhniki Stadium is the largest. Its capacity is 81,000 people. Moreover, this arena is the largest in Eastern Europe. In 2013, reconstruction of the stadium began, the cost of which amounted to € 350 million.
is a near-Earth object with a diameter of about 30 meters. It was discovered on August 29, 2006, when it was at a distance of 4.5 million km. from our planet. Scientists observed the celestial body for 10 days, after which the asteroid was no longer visible through telescopes.Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach the Earth on September 09, 2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not on the 9th, but on another date in September 2019.
As for whether 2006 QV89 will collide with Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the likelihood of a collision is extremely low.
Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).
The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid crossing its orbit with our planet as 1 in 7300 (0,00014 % ). ESA placed 2006 QV89 in 4th place among celestial bodies posing a potential danger to Earth. According to the agency, exact time"flight" of the body September 9, 2019 - 10:03 Moscow time.
In both Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter always falls on Sunday.
Easter 2020 is preceded by Lent, which begins 48 days before the Holy Day. And after 50 days they celebrate Trinity.
Popular pre-Christian customs that have survived to this day include dyeing eggs, making Easter cakes and curd Easter cakes.
Easter treats are blessed in the church on Saturday, the eve of Easter 2020, or after the service on the day of the Holiday itself.
We should greet each other on Easter with the words “Christ is Risen,” and respond with “Truly He is Risen.”
For Russian team this will be the fourth game within this qualifying tournament. Let us remind you that in the previous three meetings, Russia “at the start” lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). Last victory was the largest for the entire existence of the Russian football team.
As for the upcoming meeting, according to bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and the islanders cannot expect anything good from the upcoming match. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore unpleasant surprises may await us.
The Russia-Cyprus meeting will take place on June 11, 2019 V Nizhny Novgorod at the stadium of the same name, built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Start of the match - 21:45 Moscow time.
Where and what time do the national teams of Russia and Cyprus play:
* Venue of the match - Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.
* Game start time is 21:45 Moscow time.
Details of the last gala event of the tournament
Someone in last month, while the World Cup was going on in Russia, he became increasingly irritated. Some didn’t like the fact that Russian women behaved inappropriately, others didn’t like that crowds of foreigners walked the streets, and they also sang loudly and drank a lot. For those, we have good news: everything will end on Sunday. Well, we will miss you a lot...

Before the starting whistle of referee Nestor Pitana, the closing ceremony of the World Cup will traditionally take place at Luzhniki. And the authors and performers of the official anthem of the World Cup in Russia, Will Smith and Nicky Jam, will finally perform there. We were waiting for them at the opening, but then Robbie Williams took the rap for them. Now Will and Nicky have finally arrived in Moscow and talked a little about the show, and also talked about football.
The first time I came to the World Cup was in 2002, in Japan and Korea,” Will Smith began his story of immersion in the number one sport. - And then I realized how far we Americans are from the rest of the world in terms of love for football! How separated we are from this holiday of crazy energy! Since then I have been going to the World Cup. And to perform the anthem of one of them is a dream!
Since then, apparently since that same Japanese-Korean championship, the “man in black” has had a tender attitude towards Japanese football. Because Smith named ex-CSKA player Keisuke Honda as one of his favorite players. Which, by the way, was very surprising.
But the Brazilian national team evokes the most trembling feelings for him:
I spent a lot of time there and love Neymar very much. We tried to meet him 10 times, can you imagine? And it didn’t work out. What are you saying? Does he pretend a lot? Yes, he is a great actor! I'm an actor myself, I know what I'm talking about.
A couple of compliments to Russia - and the hearts of people who are going to watch Niki and Will in Luzhniki will melt.
This is not my first time in Russia, but I have always been amazed by your rich history,” Smith said. - America is a very young country compared to yours.
Nicky Jam is in Russia not just for the first time, but also for the first day! But I’ve already noticed how good our people are:
Yes, I will tell my grandchildren that I wrote the anthem of the World Cup in Russia!
Colombian journalists really wanted Nicky Jam, who has Colombian roots, to fieryly represent their country instead of the relegated team.
Yes, I will introduce all the departed Latin Americans here! - he promised. - I’ll dance as it should! And I’ll teach Will. Today we'll watch how to dance on YouTube, and everything will be great.
Well, in addition to Jem and Smith dancing for the sake of all Latin Americans (and their performance partner, Albanian singer Era Istrefi), Aida Garifullina and DJ Smesh will perform again at the closing ceremony. And Natalia Vodianova and Philipp Lahm, the captain of the German national team that won the last World Cup, will carry out the very coveted World Cup in a special suitcase.
Who will get it?
