JAKARTA - The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will conduct an inspection to Indonesia. This visit is related to the bid to host the 2023 Asian Cup.

The AFC has sent a reply letter signed by Secretary General Datuk Seri Windsor John to PSSI regarding the planned visit.

In the letter, the AFC team is said to be carrying out inspections to several stadiums on the nearest 1-4 September. PSSI received a reply letter on Monday, August 1 yesterday.

"Of course we will welcome their arrival. The AFC will visit several stadiums that are candidates for competing," said PSSI Secretary General Yunus Nusi on the federation's official website.

PSSI will propose several stadiums to the AFC to visit and assess. However, the names of the stadiums will be discussed by PSSI before it is finally decided.

The AFC team will leave Indonesia for Australia on September 4-7. On the same date the AFC team also paid a visit to South Korea.

Meanwhile, Qatar, which is also the host of the 2022 World Cup, will be the AFC's last visit. It is planned that inspections to Qatar will be carried out on September 8-10.

Indonesia's opportunity to host is quite difficult compared to the three countries. The last time Indonesia hosted this event was in 2007.

At that time, Indonesia was not the sole host country for this prestigious competition, but along with Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand.
