TOKYO - Moscow's Luzhniki stadium will stage both the opening match and the final at the 2018 World Cup, FIFA said in a statement on Friday.
 
The Luzhniki will also stage a semifinal while St Petersburg will stage the other following approval by FIFA's executive committee at a meeting on Friday.
 
FIFA also approved Moscow, St Petersburg, Kazan and Sochi as venues for the 2017 Confederations Cup, also to be held in Russia.
 
In a separate decision, Kosovo, which is not a FIFA member, was given permission to play friendly matches at "youth, amateur, women's and club football" level.  — Reuters
