2020 Women's U-17 World Cup to be held from Nov 2-21

The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, to be hosted by India, will be held from 2nd to 21st November next year.

The age group showpiece event of the FIFA will be held in four cities across the country. Last month, the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar has been provisionally confirmed as a venue, pending FIFA approval. Kolkata, Navi Mumbai, Panaji and Ahmedabad are in the running for the other three host cities.

India



was announced as the host country in March this year.

Spain are the defending champions, having won the title of the biennial tournament in 2018.

As India has got an automatic qualification as hosts, it is not entering the Asian qualification campaign in the AFC U-16 Women's Championship which will be held in Thailand from 15th to 28th of this month.
