FIFA U17 World Cup 2017 in India

sam

New Delhi, Mumbai, Goa and Kolkata have more than one stadium. Guwahati, Kochi matches can be shifted to Shillong and Trivandrum. Not sure about Pune though.

To keep profit in mind, we may have the 1st half of the ISL as I suggested, followed by the 2nd half played in the main stadiums after U17 WC.

what u guys smoking ? how can we play ISL alongside U17 world cup ? we should focus fully on U17 world cup not on bloody isl

Matches at Kolkata can be moved to Eden Gardens temporarily. Matches in Kerala can be moved to Greenfield or Kochi, depending on what gets the World Cup. Balewadi matches shifted to that new stadium that is barely used other than the odd Punjab Kings XI match. DY Patil to the Wakawaka Stadium (lazy).

Basically, we have options. Not saying this should happen but we have options.

@7negi kanna keep calm!! FIFA will make sure that ISL and U17 don't go side by side. IMGR too won't be eager scheduling alongside the world cup as it would mean a loss for both sides

sam

We are not saying that both should run parallel. Read the comments. We said >> ISL -- WC -- ISL. Split ISL into two halves.

Brazil just hosted the FIFA World Cup last season during the Serie A season... it is possible to be done. Just need to temporarily extend the season.

Maybe we can see a Clasura and Apatura (spelling) type thing.
