    Do we get any financial benefit from hosting?

    Presumably pitch hire fees.
    Personally I'm hoping Nigeria and Jamaica make it through to the final, so we can see Amarii Bell trying to mark Ademola Lookman

    Wouldn't the pitch hire fees go directly to the bloke who owns the pitch? (And the rest of the ground, and the training ground)

    Boo. Im up for India 🇮🇳  ... for obvious reasons. Mind you they have always been rubbish and can't see them getting near Jamaican team. I will justifiably be able to boo TC.  India have had a series of never heard of English managers.
