Blatter: A U-17 Pre-World Cup Invitational to kick off later this month
In preparation for the upcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup which kicks off next month in Korea Republic, FIFA President Joseph Blatter has helped setup a U-17 Inter-Confederation invitational tournament which will also be held in Korea Republic later this month. Invited to this tournament are the champions and best squads from every confederation, the 8 teams that will take part in this competition are Brazil, Nigeria, Ghana, Spain, Haiti, Japan, New Zealand, and the hosts, Korea Republic.
For most fans this competition is like a "U-17 Confederations Cup" since it will kick off 1 month before the FIFA U-17 World Cup takes place next month. Interestingly enough it will be good preparation for Nigeria, Haiti, and Japan which will all meet each other again in group D next month while the young kiwis of New Zealand will get a preview of Brazil's young samba kings.
