2018 Fifa World Cup will be hosted by Russia, who surprised everyone by beating what was considered a superior bid by England.
2022 Fifa World Cup will go to Qatar - who beat Korea, Australia and the USA.
RUSSIA 2018
The vastness of the world's largest country could pose a few problems for travellers and fans.
Moscow 4 stadiums:
Luzhniki Stadium (Final)
Dynamo
Spartak
Stadium Moscow
Sochi (2014 Olympic Winter Games)
St Petersburg
Kazan
Kalinigrad
Nizhny Novogorod
Saransk
Krasnodar
Rostov-on-Don
Samara
Yaroslavi
Volgograd
Yekaterinburg
So a few interesting names to try and get used to before 2018.
QATAR
The success of Formula 1 may have something to do with the first hosting of the World Cup in the Middle East.
The venues we know of so far are:
Lusail
Doha (2 stadiums)
Al Khor
Ash-Shamal
Al Wakrah
Part of Qatar's bid was a brilliant plan to build and then take apart brick by brick new stadia and deliver them to other countries.
The oil-rich state will have everyone watching! It promises to be even more interesting than in Russia as temperatures can hit 50!
