He doesn't close the doors to the chance. Alejandro Domínguez, president of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol), is optimistic about the designation of Peru as the host of the 2021 U-17 World Cup. In addition, the Paraguayan showed confidence and left open the possibility for our country to host the senior tournament.
"FIFA's procedure is to alternate the World Cup venues among the different confederations. It is a unique opportunity for the country to demonstrate all its potential and, subsequently, aspire to new challenges," said the president of the South American football entity in an interview with Depor.
On the other hand, Alejandro Domínguez celebrated that FIFA once again showed full confidence in the South American confederation, allowing them to host two youth World Cups, despite having to rotate them among the different continents.
"It is a great victory to have two consecutive U-17 World Cups in CONMEBOL," concluded the 47-year-old Paraguayan executive.
Peru applied to be the organizer of the U-20 World Cup, but it was decided to give the opportunity to Indonesia, leaving the option for our country to host the U-17 World Cup for the second time in history, after the one held in 2005.
