Citing poor pitch condition in Guwahati, Brazil vs England semifinal clash has been shifted to Kolkata.....
The venue of the semifinal clash of FIFA U17 World Cup between Brazil and England has been shifted from Guwahati to Kolkata due to poor pitch conditions at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium.
In the last few days, Guwahati has experienced incessant rainfall which has affected the pitch of the stadium. The last game played on this ground was the All African quarterfinal clash between Mali and Ghana where Mali had emerged victorious.
The authorities tried their best to improve the condition of the ground but unfortunately, things did not get better and it was finally deemed unfit for the match.
