Indonesia Government ready to find stadium for U-17 World Cup

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has ordered Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) to prepare for football stadiums needed for the U-17 World Cup that will be held in Jakarta this year.

Indonesia was appointed as the tournament host replacing Peru. However, the World Cup schedule, which will run from November 10th to December 2nd, clashes with the concert day of British band Coldplay, which will be held on November 15 at the Bung Karno sports stadium in Senayan, Jakarta.

President Joko Widodo told that Indonesia’s appointment as the host of under-17 world cup, was a trust given by FIFA, hinting that the clash of the schedule should not be a problem, as Indonesia has a lot of options for stadiums.
