Gearing Up To Kick-Off

Roma Khanna, Head of Venue Inspections, FIFA’s Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup, visited Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the first venue to be provisionally selected back in 2013 for FIFA games, this August to oversee work at the stadium ahead of the scheduled FIFA inspection in October 2016.

Khanna has been working with the All India Football Federation (AIFF) as club licensing manager for the last five years. From being a sports journalist to the chief cricket correspondent for CNN-IBN and pursuing her Masters in FIFA, Khanna’s passion for sports and her drive to promote football in the country has been most inspiring. She took time out of her busy schedule to speak to FWD Business and talk to us about the upcoming WC and the future of sports in the country.

What campaigns have the AIFF planned to promote the FIFA U-17 WC?
