Oh yes, this year there will be the U-20 World Cup which is planned to be held in Indonesia as the host. However, from the latest news, FIFA canceled Indonesia as the host for several reasons. Not only that, before FIFA canceled Indonesia as the host, there were indeed many rejections for Israel from several community groups to politicians as a form of their support for Palestine. I haven't heard the exact reason why FIFA canceled the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia, maybe it could be related to the rejection of one of the countries that might make the World Cup unsafe, or it also has something to do with the tragedy that happened in Indonesia some time ago.
However, if the reason for the Israeli national team was the reason for them to cancel it, many would say that FIFA has a double standard on this matter. Because in the last World Cup they actually removed Russia from the list of countries that would appear in the World Cup. What do you think?
Bummer alert: U-20 World Cup in Indonesia got canceled, leaving young players bummed about missing their chance to shine on the world stage.
We're not sure why it got axed, but safety and security might be the culprits. Plus, think about global sports events and how politics and social justice issues can sneak in. As football lovers, we gotta back these young players chasing their dreams. U-20 World Cup or the big one, these events bring folks together, united by football fever.
Looking ahead, everyone involved in football needs to team up and make sure major sports events are all about fairness, respect, and friendship. That way, we keep the football world a place where young talents can flourish and reach their goals.
