Flying Kiwis Fan Friendly Games

A special tradition that was born out of the incredible hospitality of of the Russian Fans’ Embassy, Russian FA and Football Supporters’ Europe. Hosted at a special and historic ground, The Flying Kiwis played Russia a few hours before the Opening Game of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Now we pass it on, and wherever The Flying Kiwis go to watch the pros, we get the amateurs together to share and connect with new cultures through football. The Russian game was captured for a magazine style piece for FIFATV and a great memento of a surreal day.
