Did you know that as a clinical trial volunteer at our Covance Leeds Clinic, you have access to a host of facilities including satellite television with Sky Sports and free Wi-Fi (and you can bring your own Laptops / iPads too) so you can chill out and watch the football while you take part in our paid clinical trials! To celebrate the FIFA World Cup 2018, we have rounded up a few interesting facts:

  • The FIFA World Cup 2018 tournament will take place in Russia from June 14 to July 15 – the first time Russia has hosted the event.
  • The first World Cup was played in 1930 in Uruguay, who also won it that year!
  • The most goals ever scored by one player in a World Cup match, was five by Oleg Salenko of Russia.
  • The birth rate of the nation that wins the World Cup goes up 9 months after victory!
