The government of West Bengal is doing all kinds of arrangements to help school and college students to watch the FIFA U17 World Cup matches at the Salt Lake Stadium, which will all set to start from next month.
As per a senior official of the West Bengal education department, they are doing all kinds of arrangements to provide free tickets to around 5,000 school and college students, to watch all 10 matches of the tournament, including the final which will be played at the Mecca of Indian football on October 26.
“Free passes will be provided to students of different schools and colleges of the state to watch the U-17 World Cup matches scheduled at the Salt Lake Stadium from October 8.
Each day, around 5,000 students will be given the free passes to watch the match,” the official told PTI.
However, it has been learnt that only students who play soccer or are involved in different sporting activities would be provided with the free passes.
Of the 5,000 passes to be allotted daily, 2,000 each would be given to students of schools and colleges, while 500 each would be given to students of Madrasas and polytechnic colleges.
A separate box and specific seating arrangements at the Salt Lake Stadium have already been earmarked for the students, he said.
“School authorities will be shortlisting the names of the students which will be forwarded to the education department,” the officer said adding, the directives in connection with the matter have already been circulated to the schools.
The West Bengal Sports Council, which is supervising the process, would also be forwarding lists of students it has prepared on its own. The lists will have names of students who have excelled in sports.
The state education department has already written to the transport department asking for around 70 AC and non-AC buses for transporting the students to and from the Salt Lake stadium.
Arrangements have also been made to provide food and accommodation to the students coming to watch the matches, the official said.
“There are many students who stay in the districts and it will be difficult for them to come and watch a match and go back home on the same day. So we are making arrangements to provide them with lodging and fooding which will also be absolutely free,” he said.
“With such a big sporting event happening in the city, we must help our students to watch the high-class foreign footballers play the game. Watching them will help in shaping our students who dream to be footballers. We are sure that the students will get immense inspiration watching such a tournament from the front,” the official said.
Two-time FIFA U-17 World Cup champions Mexico have announced their 21-member squad for the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 to be held this October in six cities across India.
Head coach Mario Arteaga and his team will be travelling to Málaga, Spain on September 16 for a final preparation camp ahead of the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017.
The squad will head to India directly from Spain as they kick off their World Cup campaign against Iraq in a Group F encounter at the Saltlake Stadium in Kolkata on October 8. The second match will be against England at the same venue on October 11, while the final group stage match against Chile will be played at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati on October 14.

Same here. I called and was said they have not yet started dispatching tickets. Not sure what they are waiting for. maybe they fear that people can Black their tickets and sell at higher price and that is why do not want to give the time. But for those who have given the option to go and collect the tickets(like me), its going to be a rush
