Russia announced its intent to bid for the FIFA World Cup in early 2009, and submitted its request to FIFA in time.

 According to a report earlier submitted by Vitaly Mutko, who also served that time as President of the Russian Football Union (RFU), the country is ready to spend some $10 billion on the tournament.
 The bid committee also includes RFU CEO Alexey Sorokin and Alexander Djordjadze as the Director of Bid Planning and Operations.
 In October 2010, Russia formally pulled out of the race to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
 On December 2, 2010 Russia was chosen as the host country for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Since the inception of the Rugby World Cup in 1987, a total of twenty rugby players have been dual Rugby World Cup winners.
 The exclusive club initially included five Australian players, John Eales, Phil Kearns, Dan Crowley, Jason Little and Tim Horan, who were part of both the 1991 Rugby World Cup and 1999 Rugby World Cup Wallabies squads.
 They were joined in 2007 by South African player Os Du Randt, who played for the Springboks in their 1995 Rugby World Cup and 2007 Rugby World Cup victories.
 They were joined by 14 All Blacks in 2015, who played in New Zealand's 2011 Rugby World Cup and 2015 Rugby World Cup victories.
 Of these twenty, New Zealand's Sonny Bill Williams, Jerome Kaino and Sam Whitelock have played in a record fourteen consecutive World Cup wins, while Richie McCaw is the first player to captain his nation to two titles.
The Ukraine's National Football Team (Ukrainian: Збірна України з футболу ) is the national football team of Ukraine and is controlled by the Football Federation of Ukraine.
 After Ukrainian Independence and the country's breakaway from the Soviet Union, they played their first match against Hungary on 29 April 1992.
 The team's biggest success on the world stage was reaching the quarter-finals in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which also marked the team's debut in the finals of a major championship.
 As the host nation, Ukraine automatically qualified for UEFA Euro 2012.
 Four years later, Ukraine qualified for Euro 2016 via the play-off route, the first time qualifying for a UEFA European Championship via the qualifying process, as it finished in third place in its qualifying group.
 This marked the first time in Ukraine's five play-off appearances that it managed to win such a tie, previously unsuccessful in the play-off ties for the Euro 2000, 2002 World Cup, 2010 World Cup and 2014 World Cup.
The World Cup Sculpture, or simply The Champions, is a bronze statue of the 1966 World Cup Final located near West Ham United Football Club's Boleyn Ground (Upton Park) stadium in the London Borough of Newham, England.
 It depicts a famous victory scene photographed after the final, held at the old Wembley Stadium in London, featuring Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters and Ray Wilson.
 It was the first and only time England had won the World Cup, and England captain Moore is pictured held shoulder high, holding the Jules Rimet Trophy aloft.
 Jointly commissioned by Newham Council and West Ham United, it stands at the junction of Barking Road and Green Street, near the Boleyn Ground.
 It commemorates West Ham's contribution to the victory, with Moore, Hurst and Peters having all been West Ham players at the time of the 1966 World Cup.
 Sculpted by the Royal Sculptor Philip Jackson, it was unveiled in 2003 by Prince Andrew, president of the Football Association.
 Jackson went on to also sculpt the statue of Bobby Moore unveiled at the new Wembley when it opened in 2007.
The 1966 FIFA World Cup, the eighth staging of the World Cup, was held in England from 11 to 30 July.
 England beat West Germany 4–2 in the final, winning the Jules Rimet Trophy.
 With this victory, England won their first FIFA World Cup title and became the third World Cup host to win the tournament after Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 1934.
Cricket in Ireland is a long-established sport.
 It is governed by Cricket Ireland, which maintains the Ireland men's and women's cricket teams.
 Like several other sports, cricket in Ireland is organised on an all-Ireland basis.
 Following the team's success in the 2007 Cricket World Cup, the sport's popularity increased in Ireland.
 The country is an associate member of the International Cricket Council and plays in tournaments like the World Cricket League and ICC Intercontinental Cup, which are qualifying rounds for associate teams for the Cricket World Cup and ICC World Twenty20.
 Ireland qualified for the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, the 2011 Cricket World Cup and 2010 ICC World Twenty20.

The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Final was a professional women's soccer match that took place on 5 July 2015 at BC Place, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to determine the winner of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
 It was played between Japan and the United States, in a rematch of the 2011 final.
 The stakes were high for both sides: if the United States won the match, it would be the only country to have won in three Women's World Cup finals; if Japan had won instead, then it would be the first soccer team, men's or women's, to win twice under the same coach (Norio Sasaki for Japan) since Vittorio Pozzo lead Italy to victory in the 1934 World Cup and the 1938 World Cup 77 years ago.
 Ultimately, the United States won 5–2, winning its first title in sixteen years and becoming the first team to win three Women's World Cup finals.

 India's Yuvraj Singh was declared the man of the tournament.
 This was the first time in World Cup history that two Asian teams had appeared in the final.
 It was also the first time since the 1992 World Cup that the final match did not feature Australia.
