The Football Association received a notification regarding the cancellation of the draw for the group stage of the World Cup for teams under the age of 20 - a tournament that should open on May 20.
The draw in Bali was set for March 31, this Friday, but FIFA decided to cancel it in the first stage and this may affect the transfer of the competition to another place.
This action by the world football organization was due to the fact that the host Indonesia as well as Iraq wanted to avoid being placed with Israel in the draw, in light of The fact that there are no diplomatic relations between the Muslim countries and Israel. Media outlets in Indonesia and India wrote that this approach may lead to punishment by FIFA and as mentioned a move is being considered.
