Russian safety authorities has reduced that number to 5500. There were a total of 650.000 people who availed themselves of the visumordningen during the world cup.

While some of the fans came to the football world cup and fell in love with vertsnasjonen, there were also some cases of people who used fan-ID-system to get into Russia, hoping to cross the border illegally to EU countries.
