On October 22, 2010, the Russian Bid Committee withdrew their participation from the 2022 FIFA World Cup Bid race, to concentrate only on their 2018 FIFA World Cup Bid.

Representatives of the media can receive the new logo by sending an email addressing the Russia 2018 Bid Committee at the following address:
