What is a Fan ID?

A Fan ID is a document that all spectators attending a World Cup match must have to get access a stadium.

The ID is also the only way for British nationals to gain visa-free entry into Russia.

With it, fans can also access specific trains for free and follow their team across the world's biggest country.

Once you have bought your World Cup ticket you can then apply for your Fan ID.
