This is a good opportunity to make investment in football infrastructure.
Why India hosting the Fifa U-17 World Cup is such a big deal | Firstpost

Yeah but you need to have some basic infrastructure in place. Moreover, you have only less than four years left.

Well, I know Chennai has a football stadium but the question is whether it meets the FIFA standards. For instance, the Bangabandhu Stadium in Dhaka has always been considered as one of the best stadiums in the sub continent, yet it had to go through upgrades worth millions of dollars to meet the FIFA standards and host the Argentina vs Nigeria match held in late 2011.

Anyway, Chennai is one of the major cities of India and deserves to host some matches of this event. Good Luck

This is a perfect opportunity to build new infrastructure all around. We should compete for more sports events to be hosted in India. It forces our corrupt leaders to release funds to build more roads, venues, better transportation. We all benefit from this development.

Are you kidding? Only four years? That's a lot of time. I'm sure FIFA knows what they are getting into.
