Is there any football only stadiums planned if we win the bid?

It will be played in the stadiums which we have. Its not compulsary that stadium should be "Football only". delhi JLN stadium is multipurpose but football is played there. same way Salt lake stadium, Pune Balewadi, Chennai JLN.

Tell that to Brazil, Japan, and on occasion Italy. Football is not always played on non-running track stadiums like in England... we can have multi-purpose stadiums as well hosts these tournaments.

Here are some great multi-purpose stadiums which are used for other sports and also host top quality football:

Olympic Stadium, Berlin (Hertha Berlin - Bundesliga).

National Stadium, Peru (Peru):

At least 9 J. League stadiums:

England Football only Stadiums are also multipurpose. They are used for Rugby League and Rugby Union games regularly. They dont have athletic tracks but Rugby fits in Football stadiums.
Same way in USA, Stadiums used for variety of purposes. From Super Bowl to Wrestle Mania to Metallica to Pastor John to Rodeo to Soccer-you name it!!!!!
