Indonesia Withdraws from Hosting Beach Games and U20 World Cup Due to Israeli Team Dispute

The 2023 ANOC World Beach Games have been cancelled after Indonesia withdrew as host.
Indonesia refused to host Israel's Under-20 soccer team, leading FIFA to strip the country of hosting the U20 World Cup.
The cancellation comes just 3 months after Indonesia refused to welcome Israel's team to the Under-20 World Cup.
The decision surprised many, as there is now not enough time to find a new host for the Beach Games.
The Indonesian government did not approve the budget for the Beach Games, prompting the withdrawal.
