Project 2017

Project 2017 is a joint initiative between the Senyan government and the Football Association of the Democratic Environmental Society of Senya (FADESS), to upgrade sporting facilities in Senya in preperation for a World Cup bid in 2017.
The project began in 2015, after Senya lost out to Craitland in bidding for the 2015 FMF World Cup. Prior to the commencement of Project 2017, Senya had already hosted the 2013 Copa Apollonia, along with three editions of the Senyan School International Tournament.
FADESS officially handed in their bid for the 2017 World Cup on 7 October 2016.

World Cup bid

Senya plans to bid for the 2017 World Cup using either nine or ten stadia, held between eight and ten cities. Unlike previous tournaments, in which the FMF dictated which stadiums would host which games, Project 2017 currently plans to establish which stadiums will host each game, with minimum requirements for stadiums to host a game in each round.
Whilst all stadiums will host group stage games, FADESS plans for 4 stadiums to be maximum allowed to host Group Stage/Play-off round games, 2 to host Quarter-Finals, 3 to host the Semi-Finals/Third Place games, and one venue to host the final.

Requirements

Criteria	Group Stage/Play-off round	Quarter-Finals	Semi-Finals/Third Place	Final
Capacity	40,000	50,000	60,000	80,000
Field of play	105 m long, 68 m wide
Minimum size of referee's dressing room	20 m2		30 m2
Minimum number of seats in the press box	200, all with desks
Minimum number of TV studios	2	2, at least 1 with a view of the pitch	4, at least 2 with a view of the pitch	4, all with a view of the pitch
Minimum number of seats in press conference room	30	50	100	150

At the time Project 2017 was announced, only six stadiums met the capacity requirements, with only five meeting requirements to host any games at all. As such, Senya plans to upgrade stadiums to meet the requirements. It decided to invite cities and stadiums to bid, allowing two bids per city, although only one city will have two stadiums at the most.
