The world football governing body FIFA has now set August 7 as the new date for the draws ceremony of the FIFA U-17 World Cup finals, which Nigeria will host October/ November this year. According to Demola Olajire, the spokesperson of the Nigerian Football Federation, the ceremony, usually the first big event for an upcoming tournament, will take place at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja. A few days ago, FIFA decided that eight venues will now be used for the three week, 24 nation's tournament, and included Warri and Kaduna in the list of prospective cities that will host the world. Others are Lagos, Ijebu-Ode, Calabar, Enugu, Kano and Abuja. Ten years ago when Nigeria hosted the FIFA U-20 World Cup finals, eight cities were deployed: Lagos, Kano, Bauchi, Kaduna, Ibadan, Calabar, Port Harcourt and Enugu.
