JAKARTA - The Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, which is one of four venues for the 2023 U-17 World Cup, was damaged ahead of the tournament.

PSSI General Chair Erick Thohir said that the damage occurred due to heavy rains in the area. However, minor damage has been fixed.

"There were some damage, not too major and it was immediately repaired. The field also had no problems, it's just a matter of how the match will be," Erick said in a release received by VOI.

The 2023 U-17 World Cup starts rolling Friday, November 10 tomorrow. Indonesia as the host is very ready, starting from opening events, other supporting events, and match venues.

A total of 27 fields were used four each for the match and the rest were practiced. All of these fields have been checked by FIFA and received appreciation.

Erick said that overall there were no complaints from participating countries that were present to the organizing committee (LOC).

"I don't think there are any complaints from the countries that attend. So everyone is happy with hotel facilities, distance, field, transportation, all positive," he said.

In addition to Si Jalak Harupat, Indonesia's U-17 World Cup will use the Jakarta International Stadium, Manahan Stadium Solo, and Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium Surabaya.
