Abstract
The 2010s are definitely to become a glorious decade for Russian sport. At least two major events are going to take place on the territory of the Russian Federation, namely, Winter Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi and FIFA World Cup 2018 in 11 cities throughout the ‘European’ part of the country . Moreover, FIFA Confederation Cup 2017 to be held in Moscow should also be considered as a ‘major’ sporting event. This is a great opportunity for Russia to affirm its image of one of the leading sporting nations in the world, to improve inner infrastructure and develop international connections with foreign partners in various business areas. Whilst more focus these days is drawn to upcoming Winter Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi and FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil Russian legislators adopted a federal law on hosting Confederation Cup 2017 and World Cup 2018 in Russia, two and a half years after FIFA’s official decision on the host. The aim of this contribution is to provide an insight into legal background and legal procedure of adopting a federal law on hosting these sport events in Russia, present an overview of the legal provisions, pinpoint the most ‘sensitive’ issues and discuss the legal implications.
