Kremlin confirms Putin to attend 2018 World Cup final draw on Friday
Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 30 - 11 - 2017

Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the draw for the 2018 World Cup in Moscow on Friday, the Kremlin has confirmed.
The Saudi Arabian National Football Team qualified to finals of the 2018 World Cup in Moscow after achieving 2nd rank within Group B of the Asian qualifications.
The Argentinian-born coach took charge of Saudi Arabia in November 2017, after his time in charge of Chile came to an end. As La Roja coach, he won the Copa America Centenario in 2016 but failed to lead Chile to Russia 2018. Pizzi was a prolific forward during his playing days. He represented Spain at international level and featured at UEFA EURO 1996 and the 1998 World Cup.
The Saudi team came within fourth level of the national teams with regard to the draw for the 2018 World Cup.
The draw, which 1,300 guests are expected to attend, will determine which teams play each other during the group stage of the World Cup, which Russia will host in 11 cities next summer.
