JAKARTA, March 27 — The draw for the Under-20 Fifa World Cup that was scheduled to take place in Indonesia next week will be postponed, a source told Reuters after Bali’s governor refused to host Israel’s team.
The letter was also sent to the PSSI. Reuters could not reach the governor’s office for comment. Reuters has also contacted the Israeli FA for comment. Earlier this month, protesters marched in the capital of Jakarta waving Indonesian and Palestinian flags while demanding Israel not be allowed to participate.
Indonesia automatically qualified for the Under-20 World Cup as hosts but the last time they played in the tournament was in 1979. Sinulingga said the PSSI hoped for a solution where politics could be separated from sport, with its chairman Erick Thohir set to coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
