The International Football Federation (FIFA) said that the President of the Republic, Pedro Castillo received a delegation from the Peruvian Football Association (FPF) and FIFA at the Peruvian Government Palace, to discuss the 2023 World Cup organization.
The FPF-FIFA delegation included FPF President Agustín Lozano Saavedra, FIFA Tournament Director Jaime Yarza, and other officials, said FIFA in a press release.
Peru was originally due to host the tournament in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced FIFA to cancel the tournament, who awarded the 2023 hosting rights to the country on December 24, 2020.
During the meeting, the delegation thanked the government for its support to date for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Peru 2023 and offered valuable information to President Castillo about the importance of fulfilling the commitments and deadlines for the proper organization of the tournament.
President Castillo’s message was positive and expressed his government’s commitment to carry out this historic sporting event which will return to Peru after 18 years and will offer a legacy of infrastructure, social and sporting benefits for the country, according to the same source.
