Utkin will join the First team in the world Cup FIFA 2018 in
as a television commentator.

“I really
nice to finally say out loud that I’ll comment on world Cup matches
football on the First channel, — said Utkin. — I would not like
to pass by such an event at home. It so happened that I slipped
by the Olympics, I had problems with my vocal cords. And if these
four years, I would have missed the world Cup, perhaps this would be a reason
to think about karma. And I about karma don’t normally think of because these things do not believe.
I believe in work, love football and am very glad that you will hear my voice in the air
in the coming days.”
