Art and Sport, a charity founded by Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov, has been named as the third major partner of Russia’s World Cup bid.
Art and Sport joins BDO consultants and Russian law firm Yust as a bid partner.
Usmanov said: “Hosting the Fifa World Cup would be extremely important for Russia. An event of such magnitude would raise the profile of the country, provide an impact for national football development, and most importantly attract the youth to sports.”
Bid chief executive Alexey Sorokin added: "By joining our campaign, Art and Sport demonstrates its commitment to Russia’s goal of hosting the Fifa World Cup for the first time in history.
"Alisher Usmanov’s contribution to our work will further strengthen our outreach to all stakeholders in the world of football so as to bring across the merits of the Russian bid.”
