Lausanne: FIFA has removed Indonesia as hosts of this year’s under-20 World Cup amid political turmoil over Israel’s participation.
The decision was made “due to the current circumstances”, FIFA said in a statement without specifying details.
“A new host will be announced as soon as possible, with the dates of the tournament currently remaining unchanged,” it added.
The draw for 24-team tournament beginning on May 20 was due to be held on Friday in Bali, but FIFA cancelled the event last week without offering a reason or setting a new date. (AFP)
