Tomorrow, the FIFA U-15 World Championship and festival, which will start in Baku, will also feature the Kanaki (New Caledonia) and Maohi Nui (French Polynesia) teams. Sport24.az reports that this was shared on the \"X\" account of the Baku Initiative Group.
Baku will host the first FIFA U-15 World Championship and Festival, which will start on October 24.
For the selected tournament, participation of 189 countries out of FIFA's 211 members has been confirmed.
Note that, due to the lack of a qualification stage requirement, 78 countries will make their debut in a FIFA D&C level tournament for the first time in history. The competition, which plans nearly 1,000 matches, will be organized in an 8×8 format with two 20‑minute halves.
