Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has removed Indonesia from hosting the Under 20 World Cup 2023™ in May-June this year.
Following a meeting between FIFA President Gianni Infantino and President of the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) Erick Thohir, FIFA decided, due to the current circumstances, to remove Indonesia as the host of the Under 20 World Cup.
A new host will be announced as soon as possible, with the dates of the tournament currently remaining unchanged.
FIFA underlined that despite this decision, it remains committed to actively assisting the PSSI, in close cooperation and with the support of the Government of President Widodo, in the transformation process of Indonesian football following the tragedy that occurred in October 2022.
Members of the FIFA team will continue to be present in Indonesia in the coming months and will provide the required assistance to the PSSI, under the leadership of President Thohir.
