Will FIFA and LOC postpone the 2021 Women's U17 World Cup again?

The upcoming edition of the U17 Women's World Cup, slated to be held in India, could be set for yet another postponement as the pandemic continues to affect the international schedule worldwide.

The tournament was supposed to be held in November 2020 initially, only for the pandemic to force a postponement. FIFA then revised the schedule and the tournament was to be held in February and March 2021 in India.

However, with most of the qualifiers for the 2021 U17 Women's World Cup yet to be completed with just four months remaining for the tournament, FIFA is expected to take stock of the situation.
