Infantino to attend Under-20 Women's World Cup opener in Katowice

FIFA President Gianni Infantino will be present for the opening match of the Under-20 Women's World Cup in Katowice, Poland, on Saturday. This marks the first tournament organized by FIFA since Infantino dropped his proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup in July due to widespread criticism from various stakeholders. The Polish Football Association has confirmed Infantino's attendance at the opening game.

Around 15,000 spectators are anticipated to gather for the first two matches scheduled for Saturday. The event holds significant importance in women's soccer, as many players aspire to represent their nations in the senior Women's World Cup in Brazil next year. Poland will face Argentina, while Mexico takes on Benin in Katowice on the opening day.
