However, FIFA President Gianni Infantino complimented India for being gracious hosts of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

"India has been a fantastic host. This makes me believe that you can do more in other competitions as well. In the meantime, there can be only one World Champion, but there are 210 countries that are not champions," said Infantino.

"However, I always say that all 211 countries win in the end. Football brings smiles to every little girl and boy in the world. When children play or watch football, they smile," he added.
