The FIFA U-17 Women`s World Cup is scheduled to take place in India from October 11 to 30, and the upcoming historic event is a `wish come true` for former Indian footballer Yolanda de Sousa, widely known as the `hat-trick queen`. "India hosting the FIFA U-17 Women`s World Cup is a wish come true moment for me. I have been pumped up ever since I have heard the news, and I don`t think it is going to subside any time soon," she said.
"I am just really excited to see some of the best young talents in the world playing on Indian soil. I just hope we play very well, both in terms of how we`re going to perform as a team and as a host, which is really crucial," De Sousa added. De Sousa emphasised the importance of hosting a FIFA women`s tournament, saying it is a huge opportunity for India to expand the game to small towns and make it the country`s most popular women`s sport.
