New Delhi, Mar 19:
India’s vast size and diversity posed as obstacles in the initial preparatory stage, but having crossed the hurdles, FIFA’s head of events Jaime Yarza has promised to deliver a “magnificent” U-17 World Cup football.
India is bracing up to host its biggest-ever football tournament, and the world’s third biggest, from October 6 to 28 in six cities.
“India is massive and has so many diverse regions that coordination with the various authorities can be challenging. In addition to this the distances to cover when we do inspections can be quite big. The infrastructure needed huge improvements but in general I am confident that it will be a magnificent FIFA World Cup,” Yarza said. (PTI)
