Tobago will be privileged to enjoy the hosting of a Group Stage for the second hosting of a World Cup Final in Trinidad and Tobago, when the FIFA Under 17 Women World Cup Finals commence on Sunday.

Eight years ago, the Dwight Yorke Stadium that was constructed specifically because of the staging of the FIFA Under 17 World Cup final in Trinidad and Tobago was filled to capacity for the games. The Local Organising Committee will be hoping for a similar response the second time around.

On Sunday, Germany and Mexico will kick off the first of six games to be played in Group B at the refurbished Dwight Yorke Stadium while the final game between Mexico and South Africa is schedule for September 12.

Spectators can expect entertaining football with football power-houses Germany and Mexico in the fray.

Anthony Price, the Stadium manager, admitted that there were some challenges in ensuring the Stadium was ready for the tournament but assured the Tobago News that come Sunday, officials, spectators and teams will enjoy a ready facility.

Prior to the start of the first game on Sunday there should be a simple, formal opening.

Among the invited guests will be the Chief Secretary Orville London, Secretary for Education, Sports and Youth Affairs, Claudia Groome-Duke, Minority Leader Ashworth Jack and all members of the Tobago House of Assembly.

Unfortunately, there are no Tobagonians on the National Women Under 17 team and Tobagonians interested in seeing the National team which has had one of the best preparations of any national team in action will have to journey to Trinidad.

The team recently scored a convincing 3-0 victory against Ireland who are rated second in Europe and are one of the teams in the Finals.

Fixture: Group B: Sunday - Germany vs Mexico at 4 p.m; South Africa vs Korea Republic at 7 pm. Tuesday - Germany vs South Africa at 4 p.m., Korea Republic vs Mexico at 7 pm. Sunday September 12 - Korea Republic vs Mexico at 3 p.m.; Mexico vs South Africa at 6 p.m.
