New Delhi: The FIFA Under-17 World Cup semifinal between Brazil and England was on Monday shifted from Guwahati to Kolkata due to poor pitch conditions in the North-Eastern city, a development which will cause inconvenience to the two teams.
The match, which was to be played at the Indira Gandhi stadium at the Assam capital, will be held as scheduled on 25 October but at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
"Following a thorough assessment of the pitch conditions at Guwahati's Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, which has been affected by severe rainfall over the past few days, FIFA has decided to move the venue of the semi-final between England and Brazil to Kolkata's Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, where the match will kick off at 17:00hrs," the FIFA said in a statement.
The change of venue will cause some inconvenience to the English and Brazillian teams as they had already landed in Guwahati. The two teams were to train in Guwahati.
