Embassy copes with English stampede for football visas

The Russian Embassy in London will process up to 6,000 visas a day to make sure every English football fan who wants to travel to Moscow for the Champions League final is able to.

The Russian Foreign Ministry is sending a special team to help out with the increased workload.

At least 42.000 British fans are expected to attend the first all-English final between Chelsea and Manchester United in the Russian capital.

The game takes place at the city's Luzhniki stadium on May 21.
