FIFA is looking for a new country to stage next year's Under-17 Women's
World Cup.
The tournament had been planned for Costa Rica but construction delays
mean the stadiums will not be ready in time. FIFA says it reached an
agreement with the country's soccer federation and attributed the delays
to ''a number of unforeseen circumstances.''
Costa Rica won hosting rights in March 2011, beating out Ghana, Turkey
and Uzbekistan. The 16-nation tournament is likely to be scheduled in
September 2014, reports The Associated Press.
FIFA says it will evaluate potential hosts before a decision by its
executive committee on March 20-21 in Zurich.
