Uganda U17 women's national team head coach Ayub Khalifa has termed the new dates for the Women World Cup tournament as favourable.
Fifa moved the dates to early next year, February 17 - March 7 in India, after it became clear the tournament would not be played at the originally scheduled November 2020 date due to the ongoing fight against the coronavirus.
Given that majority of Crested Cranes players are school-going, Khalifa says the new dates are acceptable, given the timing.

“The new dates are very favourable because that would be the first term of the school calendar,” Khalifa told Daily Monitor.
