FIFA identified India as a possible host of U-17 WC in 2017 or 2019. If India can manage to build minimum seven world class stadiums then FIFA will give their green signal. It will be a great boost for Indian football as we will get a direct entry and also infrastructure will develop rapidly.

Stadiums which already meet FIFA Criteria :-
* JLN,Delhi - 60k
* JLN,Chennai(Small renovation required) - 40k
* Balewadi Sports Complex,Pune(small renovation required) -20k
Future Stadiums which are eligible :-
* Dempo Stadium,Margao(Planned by Dempo Co & pvt.ltd) - 20-25k
* New Cooperage,Mumbai(Planned by RIL) - capacity ???
* Rabindra Sarobar,Kolkata(Planned by Jindal Steel) - 30-40k
* New Bangalore Stadium,Bangalore(Planned by Jindal Steel) - 30-40k
* Churchill Bros Stadium,Goa(Planned by Churchill) - 20k
And I have serious doubts over the proposed stadiums by Dempo and churchill
Third point, Rabindra Sarovar Stadium is kinda in outskirts where spectators will have trouble reaching n coming back. Also I am not sure whether there are any 5star hotels around it
Both are quite different cases, Mr Churchill has already acquired the land while Mr Dempo has signed up a deal with transtadia to build 30k stadia(<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.transstadia.com/content/pdfs/Dempo_set_to _break_new _ground.pdf">http://www.transstadia.com/content/pdfs ... ground.pdf</a><!-- m -->)
What about YBK????
Well Maybe renovate it when India is considered as Developed country.As of now nobody even think about its cost leave about planning. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
YBK is already under renovation for 2-September international friendly.Because it has to be accredited by AFC before a FIFA international friendly.
There is difference between requirements for a friendly match and an Official FIFA tournament. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->
In this world cup time is only 2 to 3 years left in this duration may be complete this project.

This will mean at least 7-8 truly Worlds Class Stadiums in the country.
It is to be noted that FIFA had urged AIFF in June this year to bid for either 2017 or 2019 U17 World Cup
