The name comes from combining the Russian words забияка (hothead) and забивать (to score). The mascot was chosen through internet voting in Russia, and its creator is student designer Ekaterina Bocharova.[1] Zabivaka made his debut on October 21, 2016. He's an anthropomorphic Eurasian wolf with brown and white fur, wearing a T-shirt that says "RUSSIA 2018" and orange goggles. According to the designer, these aren't ski goggles - they're sports goggles like those used in cycling: "Zabivaka is so fast on the field that he needs eye protection".[2] The combination of white, blue, and red T-shirt and shorts are the colors of Russia's national team. The competition results were announced on October 22, 2016, during an episode of Evening Urgant on Channel One Russia. The Wolf, named Zabivaka, got 53% of the votes, beating out the Tiger (27%) and the Cat (20%). More than one million people took part in the voting, which happened at FIFA.com and before and during a live show of Evening Urgant.[1] The name was suggested on the show by Vitali Mutko, chairman of the 2018 World Cup Organising Committee. FIFA paid Bocharova a small sum of $500.[3]
