The FIFA and LOC delegation visited the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai today, to have a look at developments for next year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. Tournament Director of the LOC Ms. Roma Khanna was happy with the preparations at Navi Mumbai and said, “After a stellar Emblem Launch in the state, we are happy to be in Navi Mumbai, and the DY Patil Stadium. The venue is already well-versed with the requirements of hosting a FIFA Tournament and we only need some minor tweaking to improve from 2017. Women’s football is already popular in Maharashtra, which is why it is very important to see it being promoted even more, especially in Navi Mumbai and Mumbai. We are happy to know that there are concrete plans as well as key initiatives that are shaping up to create a holistic growth of women’s football within the state, and now it is about launching them.” [KH_ADWORDS type="3" align="center"][/KH_ADWORDS] FIFA’s Project Lead for the Tournament, Mr Oliver Vogt too expressed her satisfaction with the progression of preparation at the venue and added, “The existing infrastructure here in Navi Mumbai is good.
