Nizhny Novgorod deservedly entered the list of 11 cities in which the 2018 World Cup matches will take place. Which teams will come to this city to play matches?
Nizhny Novgorod is the main city of the Nizhny Novgorod region. It is located on the banks of several rivers at once: the Volga and the Oka. Moreover, the construction of the new stadium took place on the embankment, just in the place of the Oka in the Volga, and it was named "Nizhny Novgorod Stadium".
The first mention of a football team in this city dates back to 1910. Then in Nizhny Novgorod, the famous Lokomotiv club was formed, which made a lot of noise, playing in the Higher Division of the Russian Championship. Now the team has ceased to exist and the city has no representative in the Premier League. But it seems that after the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the authorities will think a little and create a good team.
At the 2018 World Cup in Nizhny Novgorod, 6 matches will take place, and all of them will be quite spectacular and interesting.
