The women’s FIFA Under-17 World Cup which is already postponed to February-March is likely to be postponed yet again due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Originally the tournament was scheduled from November 2 to 21 in five venues of India. It was postponed to February 17-March 7 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the health crisis still showing no signs of abating and with the qualifying tournaments yet to be held in Africa, North and Central America and South America, there is a high possibility of the tournament getting postponed yet again.
“There is a high possibility that the women’s FIFA U-17 World Cup will be postponed again. The new time frame when the tournament will be held is yet not known. But most probably it is getting postponed,” a source privy to the development told to a news agency.
However, there is no official update on the matter yet.
