The draw for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup finals took place at the Home of FIFA in Zurich this Thursday, July 11, revealing the fate of the 24 teams taking part in the tournament.
Fate decreed that hosts Brazil and Canada would contest the opening game on Saturday, October 26 at the Estadio Bezerrao in Brasília (Gama).
The ceremony was attended by FIFA President Gianni Infantino and FIFA Legends Sonny Anderson and Celestine Babayaro, two veterans of this competition.
“This tournament was very important for our future,” said the Brazilian Anderson. The Nigerian Babayaro, who lifted the trophy in 1993, said, “It’s a great opportunity, which young players should grab with both hands.”
