La competizione che si terrà a maggio 2023 non si disputerà più in Indonesia. Da decidere la nuova sede
L’Indonesia of the federal president Erick Thohir will no longer host the U20 World Cup by decision of the Fifa. The politically motivated opposition of the Asian Football Federation, combined with that of Iraq, to take the field against Israel in the final tournament scheduled for May has led Fifa to Gianni Infantino to change the venue of the event. The World U20 it should have been held in 2021 but was canceled due to Covid.
In the press release issued by
Fifa we read that for the moment the dates of the international event remain unchanged, while any additional sanctions for the Indonesian football federation will be analyzed at a later time.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was the exposure in recent days by the Governor of Bali who had made it known that the presence of Israel in the tournament would not be welcome. The tournament will be attended by
Italy by Carmine Nunziata.
