Previously, Indonesia was scheduled to host the 2023 U-20 World Cup from May 20 to June 11. However, FIFA revoked this right following the rejection by several regional officials of one of the participants, namely Israel. As a replacement, FIFA then chose Argentina as hosts.
This time there will be no protests inside the country. Because Israel did not qualify for the tournament. The European representatives at this event are England, France, Germany, Poland and Spain.
