Minister Ariotedjo emphasized the importance of collaboration and synergy with the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) to ensure a seamless preparation for the U-17 World Cup. The Ministry intends to invite PSSI officials to engage in fruitful discussions regarding the championship’s organization and administration. By leveraging the expertise and experience of PSSI, Indonesia aims to deliver a world-class event that will leave a lasting impression on players, officials, and spectators.
As preparations for the U-17 World Cup commence, Indonesia understands the need for meticulous planning and execution.

The decision to host the U-17 World Cup aligns with President Jokowi’s vision of utilizing international sporting events to benefit the national economy. Minister Ariotedjo highlighted that hosting such high-profile tournaments not only enhances Indonesia’s global image but also contributes to regional economic development. The influx of visitors, investments in infrastructure, and promotion of tourism are expected to create numerous opportunities for economic growth in the host regions.
The tournament is scheduled to take place from November 10 to December 2 of this year.
