We've been drawn in Group T of this new age grade World Cup, which will feature 192 teams, and all 11 OFC member nations, and is being played in Azerbaijan next month.
Group T 🇳🇿 | New Zealand 🇲🇬 | Madigascar 🇲🇿 | Mozambique 🇵🇷 | Puerto Rico 🇸🇴 | Somalia 🇻🇪 | VenezuelaHSbbzimakAAHot9.jpg204.53 KBThe format is as follows • 8 v 8 • Smaller pitches - Allowing for more touches, involvements, and to aide quicker decisions on the ball • 20 minute halves
Interesting concept, but jesus we're going to be seeing mismatches the likes of Italy v Cook Islands in this thing!
So while it may equate to exposure and the chance of a lifetime for young kids and footballers - who otherwise would never get the chance to represent their country at a more senior world cup - I'm a little unsure on the merit of a world cup for such a young age grade.
