Dream - The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has officially appointed Indonesia as the host of the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup. This news was announced directly by FIFA President, Gianni Infantino.

"The Council has appointed Indonesia as the host of the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2023," said Gianni in FIFA's official website, quoted on Saturday, June 24, 2023.

Previously, Indonesia failed to become the host of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. This time, Indonesia replaces Peru as the host of the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, as FIFA considered that Peru's infrastructure readiness did not meet the requirements.

The U-17 World Cup is planned to take place from November 10 to December 2, 2023. However, FIFA has not confirmed whether the implementation will follow the initial schedule.

In its announcement, FIFA also appointed Colombia as the host of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Then, the Dominican Republic as the host of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2024.

"The timeframe for each competition will be confirmed in due course," said Gianni.

Then, FIFA moved the date of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2023 in the United Arab Emirates from November 16-26, 2023 to February 15-25, 2024.

 

Erick Thohir's All-Black Tweet After FIFA Withdraws the Appointment of the Host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup

Dream - The dream of the Indonesian National Team to compete in the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup is shattered. The Chairman of the All-Indonesia Football Association (PSSI), Erick Thohir, who was sent to lobby FIFA, finally responded to the cancellation of Indonesia as the host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Not with words, Erick made a tweet in the form of a pitch-black image without any writing. Black is often associated with mourning.

Erick's post is not due to an error or delayed loading in his tweet. The number one person in the organization only made a post of a black image.

Netizens translated Erick's tweet as being related to FIFA's decision regarding the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

 

Erick's dark post received thousands of likes and comments. Many Indonesian netizens reacted with sadness, disappointment, but still gave encouragement to Erick Thohir.

Many mentioned several accounts of figures who were considered responsible for Indonesia's failure to become the host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

It is known that Indonesia lost its host status by FIFA, following the rejection of some parties towards Israel, which is one of the participants in the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

This latest situation is the basis for FIFA's decision to cancel the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Indonesia.

The Deputy Chairman of PSSI, Zainudin Amali, is worried about the sanctions from FIFA regarding Indonesia's failure to host the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Amali does not want Indonesia to be suspended by FIFA as it happened in 2015.

"What we are worried about is the aftermath. This is also a burden for us," said Amali.

"In addition to stating that we are being withdrawn as the host in the letter, there will definitely be sanctions. The sanctions are being discussed and what they are, this is what we are really afraid of and as we have experienced in 2015," said Amali, quoted from bola.com, Thursday, March 30, 2023.

Indonesia Fails to Become the Host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, Ganjar: This is Not the End, Keep Training

Dream - The Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, expressed his disappointment over the elimination of the Indonesian U-20 National Team's chance to compete in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. Ganjar asked the Indonesian National Team to stay motivated and continue training.

"This is not the end, you must continue training and build Indonesian football seriously and holistically because there are still many events that can be prepared well," said Ganjar, Thursday, March 30, 2023.

According to Ganjar, there is still a chance for Indonesia to become a co-host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

"If I may say, at the beginning of the communication before I issued a statement to all ministries, including PSSI, the opportunity is as a co-host so that international relations, constitution, and sports can continue," he said.

He asked all parties to wait for another decision from FIFA and the government.

"One word that I will say, wait for another decision, if we use Mas Gibran's (Mayor of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka) language on his Twitter, 'there is plan b and plan c', hopefully in November 2023, there will be a good decision for all of us," he said.
