Argentine great Maradona and Aimar participated in the draw for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea on March 15.
“I just came following the draw in Korea for the U-20 World Cup, and we had Maradona and Aimar with us during the draw. We are thinking of some names, who we cannot say yet as we still have time. We are thinking of bringing some of the top footballers in the history of the tournament not only for the draw but also for other activities leading up to the tournament,” FIFA’s head of events Jaime Yarza said today.
Yarza is heading an eight-member delegation to inspect the six venues across the country. Today, they inspected the capital’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
