World Cup 2018, where to spend bitcoin?

Purchasing goods and services with cryptocurrency online has already become commonplace, which cannot yet be said about payment in real life. However, more retail outlets are accepting coins, bringing innovation to customers. Russian cities are already ready to offer cryptocurrency services to guests of the FIFA World Cup.

Football teams from 32 countries will gather for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, from June 14 to July 15. An army of thousands of fans is preparing to receive 11 cities where the matches will be held. Infrastructure companies are already preparing for the upcoming event and, keeping up with the times, many of them are offering to pay with bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies. True, the service for fans-crypto-enthusiasts is expected to be quite specific.
