Kolkata, Aug 23 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday launched the Host City Logo for Kolkata, the venue of the final of FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017.

It will be important in building anticipation and interest for the event at a local level.

Also present at the launch were Project Director, LOC, FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 - Joy Bhattacharjya, Tournament Director - Javier Ceppi and Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs for the state of West Bengal, Aroop Biswas.

The iconic Vivekanand Yuva Bharati Krirangan will host ten matches this October including the all-important final, which effectively means that the winner of the first FIFA tournament in the country will be crowned in Kolkata.
