UEFA with an assist for India ahead of FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup

With the UEFA Assist programme, the European football administrative body is facilitating India's preparations to host the U-17 Women's World Cup 2020 by organizing the country's first-ever international women's football tournament in Mumbai.

The India U-17 women's team has played against Sweden and Thailand in a first of its kind three-nation tournament which kicked off on Monday at the Mumbai Football Arena.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin is looking forward to the development of football outside Europe and believes it is the body's duty to assist other confederations and member associations in the development process.
