Panjim: The Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the U-17 football World Cup, to be hosted by India next year, was unveiled here yesterday. The ceremony was attended by FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Praful Patel, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) boss.
"It is clear for all to see how football has been making huge strides in India," said Infantino. "But there is an enormous room for growth, and the FIFA U-17 World Cup can be an catalyst to develop the sport even further. This is an opportunity to converge two of FIFA's core missions: to organise tournaments and to promote development."
The emblem was designed as a celebration of the country's rich and diverse culture, with its main elements being the Indian Ocean, the banyan tree, the kite and the starburst, which is an interpretation of the Ashoka Chakra.
