After their team’s defeat against Spain, Russian football fans have moved on to Salzburg ahead of their match against Greece, and they seem to have taken quite nicely to their new surroundings.

With their move to a new city comes renewed hope and a chance to put their disappointment in Innsbruck behind them.
Moreover, for Russian fans their trip to Austria is not only about the football.
It’s an opportunity to go sightseeing and shopping and to eat out in restaurants.
With four days between games, there are plenty of chances to relax and take in their surroundings.
There are, of course, still some who are anxious about Russia’s chances on the pitch, but for them help is at hand as Russia’s Football Union has set up a home from home in the form of Salzburg’s Russia House.
“It was a very good idea to set up the Russia House here in Salzburg. Although far from home, Russian fans can feel at home here. The idea is just great,” said one Russian fan.
All of this, however, is just a distraction from the real reason for the fans being there. Every evening Austrian city centres are transformed into shrines to the football. The next chance for Russia’s fans to pay homage will be the crunch match against Greece on Saturday.
