> FIFA (Soccer/Futbol) World Cup - special callsigns
> ______________________________________________________________________
>
> Organizers of the related ham events for this say it is a radio
> marathon dedicated to the World Cup in Russia. They are inviting
> country members of the FIFA international organization to get special
> callsigns and join in on the air. They recommend "FWC" callsign
> suffixes for the finalists countries of the 2018 World Cup and the
> "FIFA" for all other countries. Russia itself will have 32 special
> callsigns with the R18 prefix and a suffix to honor participating
> countries. Examples, R18ARG to honor Argentina, R18SWE for Sweden,
> etc. Eleven callsigns will represent the cities where the matches are
> held, such as RC18KA for Kaliningrad, RC18SO for Sochi, etc. Two
> headquarters callsigns will be R18HQ and R18FWC. These special
> callsigns from Russia will be on the air June 14-15. With any
> questions and "coordination," contact ua6yw at mail.ru. It is also
> suggested that in the US some serious soccer fans may want to get 1X1
> callsigns to be part of this.
