    I just calculuated that I will be either a Junior or a Senior in University by the time the U17 World Cup begins.

    I started wikipedia as a freshman in highschool (2011) and only joined IFN as a sophemore (2011).

    Wow... the progression.

    Since Indian govt has already spent 60 crores on JLN stadium Fatorda, it will definitely be one of the host.

    Ambedkar or JLN in Delhi is also good.
    Balewadi in Pune is good.
    One stadium in chennai.

    Any idea about other suitable stadiums. One will definitely hv to be renovated in kolkata.

    Salt Lake Stadium definetly. Only suitable capacity stadium.


    Many people are saying the Indera Ghandi Athletic Stadium but I would rather it be the Nehru Stadium in Shillong as that needs a massive revamp. Sadly Guwahati is bigger than Shillong so it will probably be choosen instead.

    Hosting a U17 World Cup is nothing compared to hosting the AFC Asian Cup. Don't let Mexico 2011 confuse you. The AFC Asian Cup is a growing cup and Australia with their stadiums and infrastructure will kill everything India will have for 2017.

    Hm, who knows. Perhaps football could have been big by 2017 and we could have gotten the money but I doubt the AFC or AIFF could wait that long and AFC dont care for India... FIFA does.

    AFC supported the bid made by india for U17 WC.how cud u say that they don't care...even AFC president visited india couple of times and he said india taught football to asia...
