On the eve of large football competitions, the question of visiting stadiums is becoming relevant, where matches will be held. Just buy a ticket is not enough. To go beyond the gate of the stadium, you need to place a special fan passport. It is also called Fan - ID.

- Minimizes the risk of terrorist acts at the stadium. The system fixes all who passes into the territory and then can identify the attacker.
- For example, in 2018, foreigners thanks to Fan - IDs can come to the World Cup in Russia without a visa for the period of competition.
- The possibility of free travel in city transport in those cities where competitors are held. This does not apply to a taxi.
To enjoy all these benefits, you need to buy a ticket for the match, place a fan passport, observing certain stages.
