FIFA U-20 World Cup festivity is getting closer. The Indonesian government has continuously made preparations so it can organize the event optimally. President Joko Widodo at the Limited Cabinet Meeting on Friday (01/17/2020) afternoon at the Presidential Office in Jakarta explained he wants to ensure the stadium's readiness.  He wants the stadium to be prepared to host world class matches.  The government has prepared 10 stadiums for the 2021 U-20 World Cup.

"There are six main stadiums and 4 reserved stadiums.  I asked if those can really be checked directly in the field and they are truly equipped to be used for world class matches, starting from the environment, field, seats, dressing rooms, toilets, and even the press media room which is truly representative and if there is a shortage and those are needed to be renovated and   improved so that they are really prepared to be used in 2021.  I also wanted to see in detail the connection between the stadium and the transportation to the accommodation for FIFA U-20 world cup participants. For example, ensuring the match won’t be late because of connectivity problems. Therefore, the accommodation facilities and infrastructure must also have world class services," said President Joko Widodo.

Moreover, President Joko Widodo also wants the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2021 to become a promotional event for Indonesia. He also stated that Indonesia must be able to show the world that it is a strongly developing country that is able to hold international events. (VOI/Ndy/AHM)/TRANS:AF)
