The Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata is one of the venues for the the FIFA Under-17 World Cup. The stadium officially known as Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK), will host the final match of the tournament.
However, a sculpture that has been set up in front of the main entrance of Stadium is causing a lot of discussion on the social media.
Conceptualised and designed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee herself, the sculpture was set up on Thursday in front of main entrance.
Twitterati were quick to react to the photos of the headless sculpture and unsurprisingly most comments were not in praise.

Mamata Banerjee's FIFA U-17 World Cup sculpture will surely take the grand prize for the world's ugliest art. It's tasteless and an eyesore

Looks like a chubby guy overdid his legday and didn't focus on anything else. His chest and arms have disappeared, see?
