International age-group tournaments can often give expression to the dreams of youngsters. After successfully hosting the U-17 men’s FIFA World Cup in 2019, India will now host the women’s U-17 world cup.
The enthralling tournament will begin on Tuesday, October 11, with sixteen women’s U-17 national teams from six confederations competing for the coveted title.
The World Cup was originally scheduled to take place last year but was forced to be postponed owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. India recently lost the hosting rights due to a FIFA suspension, but quickly regained the rights as the ban was lifted.
The FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 will be the tournament’s seventh edition. North Korea is the tournament’s most successful nation, having won two titles since its inception in 2008. Previous winners include South Korea, France, Japan, and Spain. Spain are the defending champions, having won the 2018 tournament in Uruguay, defeating Mexico in the final.
The 16 teams are split into four groups of four teams each. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stages, which will include quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. India, Tanzania, and Morocco are three rookie countries hoping to have a successful campaign and get beyond the group rounds.
