FIFA gives provisional thumbs-up to soccer stadium in Kochi

Kochi/ Guwahati, May 29 (ANI): FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) announced that Kochi has been provisionally selected as the venue for Under-17 FIFA World Cup 2017. Tournament director Javier Ceppi along with project director Joy Bhattacharjya made the announcement at a news conference in Kochi. However, the finalisation of Kochi as the venue will depend on many factors. He added Kochi may miss out if the stadium was not found satisfactory during the inspection and the atmosphere or crowd turn out would also decide marquee matches or a team being given to some venues. FIFA panel will also conduct two major inspections in January and September next year before finalizing the six venues in India that will host the league phase of the World Cup. The other possible venues are Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Goa. The tournament will take place in the month of October-November in 2017.
