India will witness legends Carlos Valderrama, Fernando Morientes, Marcel Desailly, Jorge Campos and Emmanuel Amuneke join the FIFA under-17 World Cup Trophy Experience on September 6 to mark the 30-day countdown to the start of the first FIFA tournament in the country. The legends will take part in the Mumbai leg of the Trophy Experience and will play in an exhibition match at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

An iconic star of Colombian and South American football, Valderrama, El Pibe, played in three editions of the World Cup in a decorated career spanning more than two decades. Morientes featured in two editions of the World Cup for Spain and is fondly remembered for his three UEFA Champions League trophies with Real Madrid. Desailly was part of the French side that won the 1998 World Cup and went on to captain Les Bleus to two FIFA Confederations Cup titles in 2001 and 2003.

The striker-turned-goalkeeper Jorge Campos was Mexico’s undisputed first-choice custodian in successive editions of the World Cup — USA 1994 and France 1998. A former Nigeria international at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and Olympic gold medalist in 1996, Amuneke started a successful coaching career that saw him leading the Golden Eaglets to glory at the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2015 in Chile.
