FAN ID: what is it and what is it for

Obtaining a FAN ID is a mandatory procedure for everyone who wants to attend the FIFA World Cup matches, as for citizens Russian Federation and for guests of the country during the World Cup.

The 2018 World Cup FAN ID or fan-ID is a personalized card that will help the organizers of the World Cup to identify the fan not only at the stadium, but also in the city, during various events, in particular - in the official fan zones, public transport, when passing borders.

What is a FAN ID for? From the point of view of the organizers of the Championship, this document will make it possible to forestall and reduce the terrorist threat, and will also allow us to weed out the unreliable contingent of fans who are prone to organizing riots even at the stage of buying tickets.

At Euro 2016, the French police did not cope with ensuring security at some matches with the participation of the Russian national team, and therefore the organizers of the championship prepared additional security measures that were successfully tested during the 2017 Confederations Cup.

In addition to the Confederations Cup, FAN IDs were issued during winter Olympics in Sochi, and then the system worked perfectly.

How to get a FAN ID for the World Cup

The first thing to do in order to obtain a fan passport is for the World Cup matches. Only after that, you can start the procedure for issuing a passport in one of the specialized centers in which will accept the World Cup or on the official Fan-ID website.

For foreign fans, the opportunity to obtain a fan certificate will guarantee visa-free travel to Russia during the tournament, and in addition, it will provide an opportunity to use public transport, as well as simplify communication with volunteers during the World Cup. It will also be possible to get free tickets for trains running between the cities involved in organizing the 2018 World Cup.

To get a Fan-ID on the site, you must fill out a form, indicating the ticket number, citizenship and passport details, the name of the fan, date of birth, provide a photo, email address and a telephone number, as well as an address to which the organizers can send the Fan-ID. After completing these procedures, you must wait for the approval of the organizers and receive a fan certificate by mail.

Fan-IDs will begin to be issued in November-December 2017, but it is clear that fans will start buying passes to the stadiums after December 1 in the Kremlin and not only the participants of the World Cup will be known, but also.

What does Fan-ID look like? This is a laminated badge that can be worn around your neck for quick access to the subway and to the stadium. It contains the data of the person who received the certificate in Latin and Cyrillic, and also contains a magnetic chip that will allow volunteers to quickly read all information about the cardholder.

The photo that must be uploaded on the official Fan-ID portal must meet the criteria described in the "Questions and Answers" section, but if a fan ID is issued at one of the official representative offices, you only need to provide an identity card and personal data, and the photographing procedure will be carried out.

Where can I get a Fan-ID?

Now only official representative offices work in Moscow, but by November-December 2017 they will be open in all cities that host the 2018 World Cup matches.

Both foreign citizens and residents of Russia can issue a Fan-ID, and you can receive an ID by mail or pick it up at a branch. Krasnodar will be the only city that does not accept the World Cup, but will issue a Fan-ID.

Fan-ID mission

In conditions when in Russia itself and throughout Europe there are many fan groups that are ready to use the world championship to demonstrate their own strength and other goals that are associated with organizing riots and can become a threat to the comfortable stay of guests of the event in Russia, the organizers see the Fan- system. ID is an effective security measure.

Over the years of the Russian championship, the internal affairs bodies have accumulated a lot of data about potential hooligans who will not be allowed to participate in World Cup matches, and in addition, Interpol, which has an extensive database of troublemakers at the stadiums of Europe and the world, will help.

Guests from England, Serbia, Turkey and Poland can be potentially dangerous - fans of these teams traditionally stand out in terms of aggression and have been participants in riots more than once. Much will depend on the results of the draw, because the potential falling into the same group of Poland and Russia, England and Turkey, Albania and Serbia, Serbia and Croatia may become an explosive event a priori.

Also, a big difficulty for the organizers of the tournament can be getting to the World Cup for the Ukrainian national team. Due to tensions between Ukraine and Russia, ensuring the safety of Ukrainian football fans and preempting unrest at matches with the Ukrainian national team will be challenging.

FAN-ID must be received by every fan who wants to become a spectator at the stadiums of the 2018 World Cup. The meaning of the event is simple: to restrict access to the stadiums of the main football festival of the planet for unreliable persons noticed in illegal activities, suspected of assisting in terrorism, and the like. A Fan ID, or "Fan-ID", is a pass that is issued to purchasers of tickets for the 2018 World Cup matches only after checking their identity for problems with the law.

Benefits of owning a FAN ID

In addition to peace of mind for their safety in the stands, a fan ID or Fan-ID will provide loyal fans with four more significant and pleasant bonuses:

1. visa-free entry to the Russian Federation;
2. freedom of movement throughout the “territory of the World Cup in the Russian Federation”: free travel on trains running between all eleven participating cities;
3. During the World Cup, FAN ID holders will be able to use public transport in host cities free of charge;
4. the opportunity to attend free excursions along significant tourist routes in the cities participating in the World Cup.

Watching football on TV and watching the game in the stadium is absolutely various classes on the intensity of passions, sensations and impressions. Watching football live, as if you yourself are taking part in the game, especially if you are watching not an ordinary match, but a duel within prestigious international tournament.

In addition, football connoisseurs watching the match "live" had great chance and the ability to “read” the situation on the field - they made bets from their mobile phone during the match and worked ahead of the curve!

Or did pre-match analysis and in advance - the degree of excitement increased several times.

Anyone who has already bought or was going to buy tickets for the 2018 World Cup, in mandatory it was necessary to issue FAN ID (PB) - a document without which they were not allowed to enter the stadium.

The presence of a uniform for all matches of the tournament personal fan card(English name - Fan ID) is a Russian know-how. A new word in ensuring the safety of major international competitions.

A similar system has been successfully tested on Sochi Olympics in 2014 and at the Confederations Cup (CC). With improvements, it was applied to the main football tournament planet, held every 4 years - the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

This is not only a pass to the stadium, but also a document that allowed fans to use public and special transport for free during the period of KK-17 and World Cup-18.

Functions performed by the PB:

  • unimpeded entrance to the stadium (if you have a ticket);
  • ensuring the safety of those present during the competition;
  • travel by public city transport;
  • travel on special trains that will run between the host cities.

The document was created for the safety and convenience of the fans. There were a minimum of checks at the entrance to the stadium, and it became faster and more comfortable to get to the tournament venue.

This is what a personal FAN ID looks like.

The spectator identification system was developed by the well-known IT company “ I-Teco". At KK-2017, its general run-in took place in preparation for a larger event - the World Cup (World Cup) 2018. Dispensing centers were opened only in the cities participating in the Championship.

Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation V. Mutko said that a fan's personal card is, first of all, a deposit spectator safety... With his help, law enforcement agencies could know who comes to the stadiums and track hooligans.

If you received PB, but behaved inappropriately at matches, you were brought into black list and they also stopped letting them into the stadiums.

The document was mandatory for all viewers regardless of age, status and citizenship. Foreigners issued a PB through the Internet and received it by mail.

In total, about 2 million cards- for the World Cup 2018. Both tournaments were held in Russia for the first time.

The electronic passport gave the right to book tickets on trains, travel by special and public transport on the days of matches in the host cities. There was no need to pay for all this- it is enough to use the FAN ID.

Image could not be edited in photoshop and other editing programs... The background color is white, without any foreign objects. If the photo did not meet the parameters, the application was returned for revision.

On the forum, I read a lot of messages from users who were "wrapped" pictures for inconsistent background color or other inaccuracies. So by this moment it was necessary take it seriously... It was a shame to buy a ticket and not get a passport because of the inadequate quality of the picture.

Step 3. Leave your contact information

The pick-up points resembled the usual MFC - an electronic queue, scoreboards, windows. The process was well established and well organized. As the Confederations Cup approached, additional windows were opened and more and more employees were recruited.

In a number of cities it worked at once several Issuing Centers in different districts... For example, in Moscow there were 2 of them - on Volokolamskoye highway and on Letnikovskaya street. There are three points of issue in St. Petersburg. Closer to the opening of the 2018 World Cup, Centers were opened in other cities of this tournament - in Yekaterinburg, Kaliningrad, Samara, Rostov-on-Don, etc.

The site had detailed information on how to get to the Center from the station in each city. The points worked according to a single schedule: from 11 to 20 on weekdays, from 11 to 19 on weekends.

So, FANID- was a mandatory document for all visitors to the matches of the 18th World Cup. The passport was a laminated form twice the size of a regular plastic card. It had your photo, full name and registration number.

There were certain rules for using PB, which had to be strictly observed in order not to have troubles with the police and the stadium administration.

Rule 1. Wearing over clothing in the stadium

At the stadium, on public and special transport, and wherever the fan card is up-to-date, wear it on the chest over clothing with the right side out.

At the first request, you were required to present the card to the police officers, employees of the Organizing Committee or FIFA employees. If you refused to do this, you could easily take out of the stadium.

Rule 2. Do not expose to mechanical stress

It was impossible to influence the passport by mechanical, chemical, thermal or any other means. Fold and fold document- too. It was necessary to store it in a safe place when not in use.

After the end of the match, the PB became a memorable souvenir. Some even collected similar badges from different championships.

Rule 3. Do not transfer for use to a third party

Since the fan card is strictly personal document, it could not be used by third parties.

Passing the PB to anyone, even if it is your wife or your twin brother, was prohibited! The information on the chip should have been completely match the data of the identity card.

The system was initially tested at the Confederations Cup, which took place in the summer of 2017. Testing found successful- violations of order and other misunderstandings were found to be minimal.
