Spain & FC Barcelona legend Carlos Puyol to launch Ticketing for 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India!

World football governing body FIFA has announced the presence of former Spain international and FC Barcelona captain Carles Puyol for different promotional activities for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India, to be played from October 6 to 28, 2017.

The main activity in which the illustrious defender will be involved is the launch of ticket sales. The first set of tickets for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India will go live on May 16 at exactly 19:11h paying tribute to the year in which Indian football made history when for first time that an Indian football team, Mohun Bagan AC, won the IFA Shield by defeating an English team in East Yorkshire Regiment.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2008 & 2012 UEFA European Championship winner will grace multiple events between May 15 and 17 to promote the Tournament both in New Delhi and Mumbai.

Anticipating what will be his first visit to India, Carles Puyol added, “I’m very excited and curious to discover the country and its people. I’m really drawn to the culture of India, its traditional medicine, its food and, of course, the way football is developing there, which is one of the main reasons behind my visit.”

Talking about the ticket launch, he said, “I would tell them that the experience of seeing a match live is completely different from watching it on television. You can feel the intensity and energy when you’re there in person. And at this tournament, you can see the stars of the future. I’m sure that those who attend will remember it and get hooked by the sport.”

The tickets for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India will go live on FIFA.com on May 16 and the start of the sales will be done in conjunction with the live programming of the official broadcasters – Sony Pictures Networks India.
