The U-17 women’s World Cup will be held in India from October 11 to 30 next year, Fifa Council said on Thursday.
India were earlier scheduled to host the 2020 U-17 World Cup but it was postponed to 2021 before being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The governing body then handed the hosting rights of the 2022 edition to India last November.
On the eve of the 71st FIFA Congress, the FIFA Council approved key dates for the International match calendars, including the dates of the 2022 U-17 world Cup in India.
“The Council also approved dates for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2022 (11-30 October 2022), FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Costa Rica 2022 (10-28 August 2022), as well as a 14-team playoff for the FIFA Arab Cup 2021, taking place between 19 and 25 June this year,” the governing body said.
