Dhamija, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Sanjiv Baranwal, Director (Infra) Sports Authority of India, Javier Ceppi, Tournament Director, LOC FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 and Joy Bhattacharjya, Project Director, LOC, FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017, besides Yarza.
Expanding on the training sites for the tournament in the capital, he added, "We're appreciative of Delhi University for agreeing to be our training site. We're also very happy to confirm that Sudeva FC will be the fourth training ground in Delhi. There is still some work that is happening but we are confident that with the support of Sports Authority of India, it will be able to be completed very shortly." Asked about its next inspection, "In principle, unless there is an emergency, which we don't foresee, we will do the next inspection around the draw which is in July. Just before the draw we will be visiting the facilities to make sure that everything is in place.
"Because as you know during the draw all the teams will come to India and they will visit the venues. So just before the draw we would like to see again that everything has been done properly so that we can answer the questions the teams might have and make sure when the teams go and see the venues they have the best impression."
Yarza said they will not have any back-up venue and in the event of a "catastrophe", "which we don't foresee", they will be hosting the tournament in five venues.
Asked about the pollution factor in the capital around Diwali, Yarza said they are aware of it and doctors from FIFA, India and other parts of the world will give "conclusions and deliberations" on it.
The delegation will continue its inspection visit to the five remaining host cities with Goa as the next stop, followed by Kochi, Navi Mumbai, Guwahati and Kolkata.
