In a significant achievement for Indonesian sports, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has respected FIFA’s decision to choose Indonesia as the host country for the upcoming U-17 World Cup. The announcement has generated excitement among officials and sports fans alike. Expressing his gratitude, Minister Ariotejo (Minister of Youth and Sports) outlined the next steps to be taken to ensure a successful event.
Minister Ariotejo stressed the importance of cooperation and coordination with the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) to ensure smooth preparations for the U-17 World Cup. The Ministry is to invite the PSSI officials to engage in a meaningful discussion regarding the organization and administration of the Championship. By leveraging the expertise and experience of PSSI, Indonesia aims to present a world-class event that will leave a lasting impression on players, officials, and spectators.
As preparations for the U-17 World Cup begin, Indonesia understands well the need for careful planning and implementation. Minister Ariotejo stressed the importance of focusing on different aspects to guarantee the success of the event. These aspects include organizational efficiency, seamless administration, and maximizing the economic impact generated by the tournament. By prioritizing these areas, Indonesia aims to create an unforgettable experience for players, officials, and spectators, while also achieving long-term benefits for the country’s sporting and economic landscape.
The decision to host the Under-17 World Cup is in line with President Jokowi’s vision of using international sporting events for the benefit of the national economy. Minister Ariotejo highlighted that hosting such high-profile tournaments not only enhances Indonesia’s global image but also contributes to regional economic development. The influx of visitors, investment in infrastructure, and promotion of tourism are expected to create many opportunities for economic development in the host regions.
The tournament, scheduled to take place from November 10 to December 2 this year, was initially awarded to Peru in 2019 but later withdrawn due to concerns over the state of the country’s infrastructure. The decision to award the host to Indonesia reflects FIFA’s confidence in the country’s ability to host this prestigious event.
