This is because FIFA has canceled the draw for the 2023 U-20 World Cup which took place on March 31. The rejection from a number of parties, including I Wayan Koster and Ganjar Pranowo, was the reason for Israel’s presence as a participant in the 2023 U-20 World Cup.
Erick Thohir also brought a message from President Joko Widodo regarding Indonesia’s ability to host the 2023 U-20 World Cup. However, in the end FIFA still decided to revoke Indonesia’s hosting status at the 2023 U-20 World Cup.
FIFA will soon announce a new host for the 2023 U-20 World Cup and the timing of the 2023 U-20 World Cup will not change, remaining from 20 May to 11 June 2023.
