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?

To be honest, anything that is not the actual World Cup is not that relevant.

I mean, sure, U20 World Cup should exist and all, but no one is watching that.

I see what you mean, maybe you want to say that the U20 World Cup is not much in demand when compared to the Senior Level World Cup. However, when something like this happens (I mean canceling as a host) there will definitely be a fundamental reason, and what is being discussed a lot now is the rejection of one of the national teams competing in the U20 World Cup. Now what I want to emphasize here is what do you think if what is being talked about a lot now is true. Is that FIFA standard uneven or what?

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.

True, this will be an arena for young players to show their abilities so that later it is hoped that many clubs will be interested in signing him. I'm talking about the canceled hosts now, Indonesia is on the list because they are the hosts and that's one definite slot. And now if it is canceled it is very likely that they will also be removed from the list of teams that will compete in the World Cup, this will of course be a very big disappointment for the players.
Regarding politics that still enters football, when will football be completely clean from politics?
