West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said the state is looking forward to hosting the FIFA U-17 football World Cup final in two months’ time, adding the magnitude of the event in itself is a huge gain for the city.

“The U-17 World Cup final will be in Kolkata and it’s a matter of great pride,” Mamata said during her speech at the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) annual awards here.

“There will be 7-8 matches. Kolkata will get to see future stars of the world. Also stars of yesteryear like Maradona will grace the city. This is a huge gain for Kolkata.
