Karipbayev noted that Almaty and its infrastructure, including hotels, are ready to welcome foreign guests.
Meanwhile, some football fans are so enthusiastic about the Kairat vs. Real Madrid match that they are ready to climb cranes or take temporary jobs, such as cleaning positions at the stadium, to witness the event in person.
