The North East of India is the heartbeat of Indian football - undoubtedly its supply line for talent and in the Indira Gandhi Athletics Stadium in Guwahati, it has got its perfect venue to enthral the people of the highlands. Scheduled to play host to Group E games (all but one game), the stadium will also play host to the Group F encounter between Mexico and Chile on the final day of the Group stage.

Following that, the venue will host one game each of the following three rounds. The home venue for NorthEast United in the ISL, the boisterous crowd of the North East are sure to be out in numbers and the new facilities should certainly make them feel as comfortable as possible.
