FIFA have official announcement about Argentina will be host for FIFA World Cup U20 replacing Indonesia, I am so disappointed with FIFA decision because my country removed from host. My government have spent much money for preparing stadium infrastructure but without 100 days before matches begin FIFA announced removed Indonesia as the host.

I don't think Argentina has better infrastructure than my country because there are not any good stadium than Indonesia, seems conspiration from FIFA how to give chance for Argentina get participants in FIFA World Cup U20 after failed in group qualification.

Honestly, I also found FIFA's decision that Indonesia would not be ready to host the World Cup a bit controversial... I think there was some political or monetary issue involved in that.

I am aware of the opposition of Indonesia in not receiving the Israeli delegation in its territory... I respect the disagreements between sovereign countries, but in a sport everyone should have equal rights to participate (with the exception of Russia, which obviously does not deserve the respect of the rest the world for the humanitarian crisis it caused).
Anyway... politics and sports are always linked.

I wish Argentina does a good job in hosting this competition for the second time.
