Banerjee will host the dinner on October 26.

“He is coming to Kolkata for the final match of the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup to be held on October 28 and the chief minister will host a dinner in his honour on October 26,” a senior state government officer told PTI.

He said Banerjee was very happy after receiving compliments from the FIFA for renovating the Salt Lake stadium.

According to Javier Ceppi, the U-17 World Cup Local Organising Committee (LOC) tournament director, the Salt Lake stadium is at par with any world-class venue in the world.

The U-17 World Cup tournament director had thanked the West Bengal government for refurbishing the stadium in two and a half years.

The stadium has already hosted some matches of the FIFA U-17 World Cup and will host the final match as well
