Another poignant step towards a FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup France 2018 was taken final week: between 7 and 10 November, a FIFA commission carried out a preliminary inspection in Brittany, where a foe will be hold from 5 to 24 August. The design of this visit? To safeguard that a 4 stadiums will be operational in time for a contest kick-off.

“The idea of this week’s revisit is to accommodate a several member concerned and to take a minute demeanour during opposite areas of a stadiums with courtesy to security, a media and a acquire given to fans,” explained FIFA Senior Competitions Manager Rhiannon Martin during a start of a four-day tour. “Our common design is to container a stadiums, and to attract, in particular, some of a vast numbers of tourists expected to be benefaction in Brittany while a contest is going on.”

The revisit began in Vannes, in a association of David Robo, Mayor of Vannes, and Jean-Claude Hillion, President of a Ligue de Bretagne. The town’s Stade de la Rabine will theatre a opening match, semi-finals and final. Boasting a ability of 9,000 and a mint hybrid weed pitch, it will be a largest track used during a tournament.

Concarneau and a Stade Guy Piriou was a second pier of call for a 45-strong delegation.

We’ll be behind in Jun to check that all is in order.”

Saint-Maloand then Dinan/Lehon constituted a final stop-offs in a investigation tour, that was generally concluded to have been really positive. “We’ll need to make a few tiny adjustments, though it’s going to be great,” pronounced Martin. “What’s critical for FIFA, aside from a contest itself, is a bequest that it leaves behind. The new comforts will sojourn in place.”

A follow-up investigation is scheduled for a spring, though a foundations for France 2018 are now good and truly laid. “There’s a genuine seductiveness in women’s football here – we can only feel it,” noted former New Zealand general Rebecca Smith, a member of a FIFA delegation.
