FIFA president kept mum when asked about India bid for U-20 World cup.
Reasserting India's desire to host the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2019 Patel said, "We cannot stop with this U-17 World Cup and the show must go on for us! I formally request the President that India is looking forward to hosting the U-20 World Cup in 2019. We need to have another major tournament which will keep the interest of every section alive. This has been a great learning experience for us. We have delivered on giving proper infrastructure which was a major issue in all these years. I think we have a FIFA President who understands everything regarding football.”
We didnt even qualify for AFC U-19 Championship 2018. We should think about atleast qualifying on Merit for 2020 AFC U-19. One step at a time. Our time will come but it will take a while.
