T
he time for which we prepared so hard has come. There were more than three years of intense work, in which did not rest,
with the sole purpose of making a great FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015.
With the Copa America, which has just ended, we gave an excellent example that with unity, commitment and hard work, we
are great hosts. And this new international tournament, to be played in our fields, will allow us to reaffirm before the world the
infinite organizational skills we have and the great love that the Chilean profess for football.
By having achieved the realization of this FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015, we have become the third country in the world, to
organize four out of five of the most important events included in the FIFA calendar.
The expectations are immense. We have invested efforts, money, time, and there is a tremendous commitment from our country
so that this tournament is developed in a perfect way, reaching places where it is not often to live this kind of events, promoting
this sport through a unique family experience.
The work alongside the venues, not only considers plans to bring the world cup to the inhabitants of these communes, but also
to the surrounding towns, vulnerable neighbourhoods, schools, sports clubs, foundations a nd neighbourhood associations..
The doors of my country will be open, so that the thousands of fans who come from several parts of the world, go all over these
lands, finding out their charms from north to south, and matching up with this great party.
Coquimbo, La Serena, Viña del Mar, Santiago, Talca, Chillán, Concepción and Puerto Montt, are already prepared to start running
the ball, and for transforming this celebration into an unforgettable football event.
Welcome to the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015.
