PANAJI: From tons of ice, assorted cookies, luxury cars and even mosquito repellents, the local organising committee (LOC) for the Fifa U-17 World Cup has been kept on its toes by participating teams.India is hosting its first Fifa event and the biggest football tournament in the subcontinent, organised by the governing body for world football. Nobody here knew what to expect from the teams, until the requests began to flow.First up, India. The hosts knew the existing conditions better than any other team and were aware of dressing rooms being possibly infested with mosquitoes. According to one internal communication seen by TOI, team manager Velu Dhayalamani asked the organisers to ensure there were mosquito repellents in the dressing room and hot water for the showers.India also said, it would help, if there was "wifi connectivity made available in meeting rooms." Brazil wanted to rent an additional car for their head of delegation, on behalf of the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). "It would be important that this car has access to the venues," said Brazil.Iraq, too, wanted a car for their head of delegation but with a rider: Only Sedan would do! Japan made it clear to the organisers that they are landing in India with "plenty of baggage" and needed an additional luggage van. That wasn't a problem; certainly not more than generating 150kg of ice everyday, and 300 kg of ice on match days, since the organisers were giving away only 30kg of ice free of cost to every team.Germany had bigger concerns. The European powerhouse were piqued that officials without accreditation are not allowed inside official vehicles."It's extremely impractical and no longer contemporary," fumed Germany, explaining how at UEFA tournaments there are 16 accreditations and "it does not overload technical zones or (pose) other problems."Iran wanted to have all their team meetings inside an air-conditioned room, while Paraguay asked for exclusive use of the dining room at team hotel. "The dining room should not be shared with other groups or delegations," said Paraguay.Mexico were keen on "recreation and cultural visits" while many teams, including Japan and Iraq , requested for specific menus at the team hotel.Among the most specific menu was from the United States. The team ­ besides asking for cooling fans in the dressing room ­ said, "whenever possible, food should be organic, not cooked in added oils, and not heavily seasoned."There was something special for the coaches too; "please have assorted cookies available for the coaches table every night for dinner," the US said in its request to the LOC.
