India has been fantastic host: FIFA head

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has complimented India for hosting the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup event successfully.

Infantino was felicitated by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) ahead of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup final in Navi Mumbai on Sunday (30). Infantino interacted with representatives from the state associations and complimented India for being gracious hosts of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

‘India has been a fantastic host. This makes me believe that you can do more in other competitions as well. In the meantime, there can be only one world champion, but there are 210 countries that are not champions. However, I always say that all 211 countries win in the end. Football brings smiles to every little girl and boy in the world. When children play or watch football, they smile,’ said the FIFA President as per an AIFF release.

Defending champions Spain won the tournament, beating Colombia 1-0 in final.
