Take a look at the official 2018 FIFA World Cup tv opening

Now it’s really time. Within just ten days, the 2018 World Cup, maybe the most hyped and awaited edition ever, will start. Everything that had to be presented has basically been presented, and now we’re missing just a few details. One of those is the official tv opening, made by FIFA, that will precede the broadcasting of every game of the 2018 tournament.

You will immediately realize to be familiar with the style used for this official intro of the Russian edition of the World Cup. In fact, the clip undoubtedly recalls the Game of Thrones opening, that has become a proper cult in its category. Just like in the famous fantasy show, this intro is also focused on a series of geographical details, like monuments or landmark buildings of the various Russian cities, that move, slot together and modify while the ‘map’ unveils itself. While the camera moves from ballet dancers to trains and other references to the Soviet culture, big upside down diamonds represent the previous editions of the World Cup.
