New Delhi: The All India Football Federation’s desire to host back-to-back Club World Cup in 2015 and 2016 seems to be in jeopardy as the national body is fighting against time to arrange a whopping $25 million as a guarantee to bid for the events.

The AIFF has to submit its bid by August 25 after which the FIFA executive committee will select the hosts in September 2014.

“Obviously it is a challenge for us to find sponsors for such a huge sum but we are confident of meeting the FIFA guarantees,” AIFF secretary general Kushal Das said.

The Club World Cup is seen as a test event for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, which India will host. (PTI)
