كشفت روسيا مساء الثلاثاء عن الشعار الرسمي لبطولة كأس العالم لكرة القدم لعام 2018 التي من المقرر أن تستضيفها البلاد.

ويظهر الشعار كأس البطولة بألوان العلم الروسي الأحمر والأزرق والأبيض مع إضافة اللون الذهبي.&

وتم الكشف عن الشعار في برنامج تليفزيوني عن طريق ثلاثة رواد فضاء عبر فيديو موصل من محطة الفضاء الدولية.

وتم بث هذا الفيديو على الواجهة الخارجية لمسرح البولشوي في موسكو كجزء من عرض للضوء وتم نقله إلى استوديو تليفزيوني، نال استحسان رئيس الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم جوزيف بلاتر الذي علق قائلا: "الكشف عن شعار البطولة يعتبر حدثا رائعا للانطلاق، وأنا واثق من أن بطولة كأس العالم ستحقق نجاحا كبيرا هنا بعد أربعة أعوام''.

وفور الإعلان عن الشعار، سارع عشاق الساحرة المستديرة للسخرية عبر مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي من تصميم الشعار والطريقة التي تم الكشف من خلالها عنه.
