Liverpool fans arriving to Moscow for a Champions League draw with Russian team Spartak were pleasantly surprised with a warm welcome from Russian fans, including free T-shirts. The event is part of an initiative dubbed 'Gentlefan,' which first started in February 2017 when Rostov fans offered their Manchester United counterparts warm blankets prior to the rainy match. The tradition is picking up steam with Liverpool as well as Manchester United supporters receiving free merchandise in Moscow this September, and will continue next summer during the World Cup.
"We believe that it is very important and deserving that the world recognises that South America has contributed and continues to contribute to world football," says CONMEBOL President Alejandro Dominguez in an event at Montevideo's Estadio Centenario as Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile launch a joint bid to host the 2030 World Cup, 100 years on from the first tournament which was played in Uruguay.
