FIFA yesterday released the official match schedule for the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup to be hosted by Jordan.
According to the schedule announced by the world football governing body and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) for the tournament, the host country Jordan, will open the competition on September 30, 2016 at the Amman International Stadium.
Sixteen countries are expected to trade tackles in a total of 32 matches across four stadiums during the championship that would span 22 days with the finals to be held at the same venue as the opening ceremony on 21, October 2016.
The match schedule was created following a thorough analysis of various aspects related to the tournament including the stadiums, teams and audiences, as well as matters pertaining to marketing, media, ticketing and timing, among others.
While in the process of devising the match schedule, the LOC took several points into consideration, which included ensuring that the national team plays in all host cities – Amman, Irbid and Zarqa – thereby providing fans across the three governorates and their surrounding areas with the chance to attend and support their national team.
The LOC also made sure that the opening ceremony, opening match, closing ceremony and final match will take place on Fridays, which will encourage audiences of all age groups to participate.
Furthermore, the match schedule was designed in a manner that would allow Jordanian audiences to attend various games featuring different teams. As such, the participating teams will move for each game of the group stage between the designated stadiums, namely the Amman International Stadium in Amman, King Abdullah II International Stadium also in Amman
