For Amarjit Singh Khiyam and the 21-member India U-17 squad, the long wait is over. In April 2015, German Nicolai Adam was appointed as coach. He stressed on the need for foreign exposure. Since then they have travelled to four continents and visited 18 countries. Their last visit was to Mexico in August—September.
They have played more than 100 matches and travelled more than 200,000 miles. No team in the history of Indian football has been so well prepared. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has spent a colossal Rs 15 crore on their preparations, which includes the salaries of Adam and coach Luis de Norton Mattos of Portugal appointed in March 2017
As dusk descends on Delhi on Friday 6 October, deep lying midfielder Amarjit will be India’s first World Cup captain in their first match versus USA in the FIFA U-17 World Cup at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi. The 10 other players, who will walk out proudly in front of the Prime Minister, Narender Modi, the FIFA secretary Fatima Samouri and the president of the AFC Sheikh Salman, will also be the first Indians to play in a World Cup. History will always remember them fondly.
