JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Zainudin Amali cannot reveal which stadium will be used for the 2023 U-17 World Cup. He said it would be announced by the International Football Federation (FIFA).
Amali emphasized that so far FIFA has just announced the appointment of Indonesia as the host of the U-17 World Cup.
"So FIFA is only limited to announcing us (Indonesia) as the host. Then what will happen next, where will the stadium be, that will be FIFA announcing. We are waiting for FIFA's (decision) again," said Amali.
Previously, Indonesia was appointed by FIFA to host the U-17 World Cup through a joint decision at the FIFA Council hearing which was held at FIFA Headquarters, Zurich, Switzerland, Friday, June 23.
Indonesia replaces Peru, which is confirmed to have failed to host the U-17 World Cup due to infrastructure uncertainty. This is the main reason that caused FIFA to revoke Peru's host status, as reported by Antara.
The U-17 World Cup is scheduled to be held from November 10 to December 2. Regarding the use of venues or stadiums, FIFA has yet to check with Indonesia.
It is unlikely that Gelora Bung Karno's Main Stadium will hold the opening of the U-17 World Cup. This is because the pride of Indonesia's stadium will be used for the Coldplay band concert which previously obtained a license for use.
As is known, the concert will be held on November 15.
