View the FIFA World Cup 2018 Stadiums from Space

Hosting the FIFA World Cup, like the Olympic Games, encourages a great deal of developmental changes in the host countries, with several stadiums and support infrastructures being constructed and renovated ahead of the events. This year's FIFA World Cup is no different and Russia has invested heavily in building new stadiums and refurbishing existing facilities for the world of football's showpiece tournament. Accurate satellite imagery is crucial to designers, surveyors, engineers and architects at every stage of the World Cup project.

Highly accurate satellite imagery improves decision-making and assessment from the initial planning stage through to final completion. It allows visualisation and evaluation of the impact of a building in its surroundings, making it possible to work with much greater control over cost and quality, and enabling the designs to be easily tested and adapted to the client’s needs.

Deimos Imaging and its partners monitored the construction and refurbishing of the 12 stadiums to be used during the FIFA World Cup 2018 from space! You can see the story map here.
