The West Bengal government is making elaborate arrangements to help school and college goers watch the upcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup matches scheduled at the Salt Lake Stadium from next month.
The West Bengal education department, arrangements have been made to provide free tickets to approximately 5,000 school and college students, both boys and girls, to watch each of the 10 matches of the show piece tournament, including the final which is scheduled for October 28th.
"Free passes will be provided to students of different schools and colleges of the state to watch the U-17 World Cup matches scheduled at the Salt Lake Stadium from October 8. Each day, around 5,000 students will be given free passes to attend the match," the official told PTI.
However, it has been learnt that only students who play soccer or are involved in different sporting activities can avail these free passes.
Of the 5,000 passes to be allotted daily, 2,000 each would be given to students of schools and colleges, while 500 each would be given to students of Madrasas and polytechnic colleges.
A separate box and specific seating arrangements at the Salt Lake Stadium have already been earmarked for the students, he said.
