The May 20-June 11 event was set to be the first major football tournament hosted by the Southeast Asian nation.

The cancellation also comes after a stadium stampede in October last year left 135 people dead in East Java, one of the worst disasters in the sport's history.

"FIFA would like to underline that despite this decision, it remains committed to actively assisting the PSSI, in close cooperation and with the support of the government, in the transformation process of Indonesian football following the tragedy that occurred in October 2022," read the statement.

FIFA has pledged to announce a new host as soon as possible, noting that the dates will remain unchanged.

Many Muslim-majority countries have in the past refused to host Israeli athletes and many Muslim athletes to refused to compete against Israeli opponents as an expression of support and solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine.

During the FIFA World Cup in Qatar last year, the pro-Palestine sentiment was on full display as spectators and footballers were seen waving the Palestinian flag in stadiums and forcing Israeli journalists to leave the match venues.
