Indonesia Strips Of Right To Host Under 20 World Cup by OriOko88(m): 10:59pm On Mar 29, 2023 |
Fifa has stripped Indonesia of hosting rights for the Under-20 World Cup. The decision follows the cancellation of the official draw for the tournament, which was due to be held in Bali last Friday. The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) said Fifa was forced to cancel the draw after Bali's governor Wayan Koster refused to host the Israeli team. The U20 World Cup is set to take place from 20 May to 11 June. Indonesia does not have any formal diplomatic ties with Israel and recently protesters have held marches demanding Israel be stopped from competing in the tournament, in support of Palestine. Indonesia were awarded hosting rights in 2019, before Israel qualified for the tournament. England's U20 team is also set to compete. "Fifa has decided, due to the current circumstances, to remove Indonesia as the host of the Fifa U20 World Cup 2023," a Fifa statement said. "A new host will be announced as soon as possible, with the dates of the tournament currently remaining unchanged. Potential sanctions against the PSSI may also be decided at a later stage." Half an hour before Fifa's announcement, PSSI executive committee member Arya Sinulingga said he was "very pessimistic" about Indonesia keeping the hosting rights. "If we make political requirements in sports, it'll always be like this. We will be exiled from the football ecosystem. "It's very tough for all of us. We're headed into a calamity in sports. We have to separate football or sports and politics." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65113802 |
