MUMBAI: Acting on expected lines, FIFA on Saturday postponed the U-17 Women's World Cup, which was scheduled to be held in India in November, due to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic.
The women's age group showpiece was to be held at five venues in the country from November 2-21.
The decision was taken by the FIFA-Confederations working group, which was recently established by the Bureau of the FIFA Council to address the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and which includes the FIFA administration and secretary generals and top executives from all confederations.
