The
former
Indian
footballer
urged
her
fellow
countrypersons
to
attend
and
support
the
event.
The
upcoming
tournament,
set
to
begin
on
October
11,
will
be
the
first
significant
FIFA
women’s
tournament
to
be
held
in
the
nation.
“The
FIFA
U-17
Women’s
World
Cup
will
feature
our
U-17
girls,
and
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
invite
our
friends,
parents,
and
fellow
citizens
to
come
to
stadiums
to
watch
the
World
Cup
and
support
our
players,”
she
said.
Talking
about
the
biennial
event,
the
charismatic
striker
said,
“Yes,
of
course,
India
hosting
the
FIFA
U-17
Women’s
World
Cup
is
fantastic
news
for
all
of
us.
“Furthermore,
Indian
players
playing
alongside
some
of
the
best
young
talents
during
the
World
Cup
is
significant
because
this
event
can
serve
as
a
springboard
for
their
careers.”
Bala
Devi
backed
the
Indian
team
to
do
well
in
the
tournament,
saying,
“I
am
confident
that
these
girls
will
make
us
proud.”
She
further
showed
her
confidence
in
the
team
by
adding
that
one
day
these
youngsters
will
become
icons
for
many.
“This
is
a
journey;
when
I
was
playing,
I
had
players
I
looked
up
to;
these
players
have
their
own
favourites,
and
one
day
these
U-17
players
will
be
role
models
for
the
next
generation,”
Bala
Devi
said
when
she
was
asked
about
female
role
models
in
football.
The
Indian
women’s
team
has
been
drawn
in
Group
A,
alongside
Morocco,
Brazil,
and
the
United
States
of
America
(USA).
The
U17
Women’s
World
Cup
is
scheduled
to
be
held
across
three
venues
–
Navi
Mumbai,
Bhubaneswar
and
Goa.
However,
the
Indian
team
will
play
all
their
group
games
at
the
Kalinga
