FirstTouch is in Russia for the World Cup 2018 this summer. We will be attending multiple games and celebrating the world’s game with fans from all across the world! Enjoy our blogs that document some of our experiences.

Day 1 [June 13th]

The FIFA World Cup is a celebration of the world’s sport and a wonderful combination of different cultures and peoples. This summer my brother and I are fortunate enough to attend and immerse ourselves within the millions of other fans that will also be journeying to Russia. Although USA and Cameroon both failed to qualify, we are fans of football and will support the other African teams that did qualify. 

After creating FirstTouch, our continued vision has been to package creative content in a unique way and we will have the opportunity to deliver a glimpse into the passion and excitement that the World Cup provides. We will have access to 4 of the 5 African teams playing in the tournament and since we are staying in Moscow, we will also be able to document the excitement from the capital of the host nation.

The most exciting moments for me personally will be witnessing world class players compete at the highest level for their countries. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, Eden Hazard, the list goes on and on and that doesn’t include the players that will make a statement and announce themselves as a talent to consider in the future.

Our trip from D.C to Moscow via Brussels was shared by fans from Mexico, France, and Colombia who will all be hoping to see their countries succeed in a few days time.
