FIFA U17 World Cup 2017 in India

Its flawed logic but can be understood. The ISL is a marathon for 2-3 months with players training from August/September to December in India, lots of travel, and other things. The U17 World Cup will just be 7 matches with matches under floodlights etc.

Its a weak reason but probably their "official" reason for the move. Other reasons probably include that they feel that the ISL can not be split and that to not lose hype they need the ISL to happen in one peace.

Any reason why FIFA opts for a different window for the Under 17 WC than the usual window adopted for the World Cup ?

FIFA will not budge this time. If U17 WC has to take place in October. November. It will take place in that period only. No Excuses ISL this time.
