A tiger, a wolf and a cat -- who will be the mascot for the 2018 FIFA World Cup? The Russian sports ministry has unveiled the shortlist.

An all-Russia vote to select the mascot between the tiger, the wolf and the cat will be launched this fall, reports Tass.

"We are happy that so many people took part (in the mascot contest)," Alexei Sorokin, the director general of 2018 Local Organising Committee (LOC), said on Thursday.
