FIFA announced on Wednesday it had removed Indonesia as host of this year's under-20 World Cup amid political turmoil over Israel's participation. The decision was made 'due to the current circumstances,' FIFA said in a statement without specifying details. 'A new host will be announced as soon as possible, with the dates of the tournament currently remaining unchanged,' it added. The draw for 24-team tournament beginning on May 20 was due to be held on Friday in Bali, but FIFA canceled the event last week without offering a reason or setting a new date.
