This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance and we hope that people can come in large numbers to the display locations in the host cities." Over the next few months, millions of fans in India will get to fulfill their dream of seeing the official winners' trophy and posing in front of it. "This initiative is about bringing the excitement of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Trophy Experience closer to India's fans in the run up to this milestone competition.
