NEW DELHI:<\/strong> All India Football Federation General Secretary Mr. Kushal Das stated that all stays on track at the five venues which are slated to host the FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup India 2020.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a webinar arranged by Sports Industry Awards (SPIA) Asia entitled \u2018Sports Industry in India \u2013 today, the General Secretary said: \u201cThese are unforeseen circumstances, and there have been some setbacks. But three of the five venues had already hosted the U-17 FIFA World Cup in 2017 and they do not require much changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the other two venues \u2013 at Bhubaneswar and Ahmedabad — most of the work is on schedule. In Odisha, we have been working closely with the State Government, and also in Ahmedabad. We are quite hopeful that the venues will be ready in time,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Footballing activities in India currently stay suspended owing to the Covid19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Mr. Das also went on to mention that the preparatory activities for the U-17 probables would start soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now our coach is back in Sweden, while the players are back at their respective residences. There are some travel restrictions but we are working on how and when we can safely restart the camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe coach is quite hopeful because this is a situation that every team facing. So we are all on a level playing field,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had a number of exposure tours planned for the team but we will have to revisit those plans.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there have been challenges in many sectors due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Mr Das believes that this time has shown the world of sports the way for digitisation, as a number of seminars and courses have been held online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been travel issues and people have been practising social distancing. But we have seen that a lot of things can be done online,\u201d said Mr Das. \u201cWe have helped SAI (Sports Authority of India) organise a coaching course which was attended by around 1,000 coaches from across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think so many coaches would have been able to join had it not been an online discipline,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe had our Head of Coach Education Savio (Madeira), Senior Men\u2019s Team Head Coach Igor (Stimac), Technical Director Doru, and even Croatia World Cup coach (Zlatko) Dalic instructing the coaches.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AIFF General Secretary further went on to inform that the Federation has itself conducted its Executive Committee meeting, the Technical Committee meeting, and also the Women\u2019s Committee meetings online, as well as a few Refereeing programmes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
