"I think we can say that Russia is 100 percent ready and the whole world will actually see it when we kickoff on June 14 with Russia and Saudi Arabia in the Luzhniki Stadium," Infantino said in a video interview.
"Everyone will be able to witness how beautiful the stadiums are, how welcoming the country is, how the organisation and the preparations will work out. It'll be a great experience."
Russia has faced scrutiny in the lead-up to the tournament over issues including fan and team security as well as racism at matches.
FIFA fined Russia 30,000 Swiss francs (£22,682) last month for discriminatory chants by fans after racist abuse was directed at French players during a friendly in St Petersburg in March.
"I wouldn't say that I am concerned about discrimination, human rights or security but obviously we take this very, very seriously and we've taken appropriate measures," he added.
"For the first time we have been checking the construction of stadiums, the sites to make sure conditions for the workers are correct... concrete progress has been made in terms of human rights and the way we deal with human rights questions."
Infantino promised a "safe environment" for fans travelling to the event.
"The Russian authorities are aware of the security situation in such a big event," he said. "They are working very hard to prepare in cooperation with police authorities of all governments in the world... to be fully ready to tackle any potential issue.
"Every fan that is coming to Russia will be welcome in a safe environment to celebrate. If anyone is thinking to come to Russia to create trouble, he better stay home."
