At the 72nd congress of the football federation held in Qatar, the Russian language was included into the list of the official languages of the organization. Only 4 out of 191 representatives of the national associations voted against the inclusion of the Russian language. The rest supported this initiative. From now on, Russian, along with English, Spanish, German and French will be used in FIFA's documentation and during communication with the associations. Incidentally, the German language gained its status due to legal reasons. The headquarters of the organization is situated in Zurich, Switzerland, where German is predominantly spoken.

It was announced last week that FIFA may grant the Russian language a special status. Apart from Russian, Portuguese and Arabic were included as official languages. However, their use will not be systematic and they will be used when necessary. For example, in Qatar, where the next World Cup will take place.

After all, "Runet" is only slightly inferior in size to the English-language web.
