The 2018 FIFA World Cup will be the 21st FIFA World Cup, an international association football tournament that is scheduled to take place in 2018 in Russia. This will be the first time Russia has hosted the tournament, as well as being the first World Cup in Eastern Europe. It may also become the first World Cup held in more than one continent, namely Europe and Asia, according to the bid.

The bidding procedure to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups began in January 2009, and national associations had until 2 February 2009 to register their interest.[1] Initially, nine countries placed bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but Mexico later withdrew from proceedings,[2] and Indonesia's bid was rejected by FIFA in February 2010 after the Indonesian government failed to submit a letter to support the bid.[3] During the bidding process, the three remaining non-UEFA nations (Australia, Japan and the United States) gradually withdrew from the 2018 bids, and the UEFA nations were thus ruled out of the 2022 bid. As such, there were eventually four bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup: England, Russia, Netherlands/Belgium and Spain/Portugal.
The twenty-two member FIFA Executive Committee convened in Zürich on 2 December 2010 to vote to select the hosts of both tournaments.[4] Russia won the right to be the 2018 host in the second round of voting, while the Spain/Portugal bid came second and that from Belgium/Netherlands third. England's bid to host its second tournament fell in the first round.[5]
The voting patterns were as follows:[6]
| Bidders | Votes | |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Round 2 | |
| Russia | 9 | 13 |
| Portugal / Spain | 7 | 7 |
| Belgium / Netherlands | 4 | 2 |
| England | 2 | Eliminated |
The qualification process for the 2018 World Cup has not yet been announced. All FIFA member associations, of which there are currently 208,[7] are eligible to enter qualification. In September 2011, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee decided to exclude Myanmar from qualification.[8] However, in November 2011, following an appeal from the Myanmar Football Federation, Myanmar is allowed to participate in the qualification again, but they have to play all their home matches on "neutral grounds in another country".[9] Russia, as hosts, qualified automatically for the tournament.

Russia has proposed the following host cities: Kaliningrad, Kazan, Krasnodar, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Saint Petersburg, Samara, Saransk, Sochi, Volgograd, Yaroslavl and Yekaterinburg.[10] The bid evaluation report stated: "The Russian bid proposes 13 host cities and 16 stadiums, thus exceeding FIFA's minimum requirement. Three of the 16 stadiums would be renovated, and 13 would be newly constructed."
In October 2011 Russia decreased number of stadium from 16 to 14. Construction of the proposed Podolsk stadium in the Moscow region was cancelled by the regional government, and Spartak Stadium is competing with Dinamo Stadium which will have been constructed first.[11]
