"The Bureau of the FIFA Council has confirmed Argentina as the host of the FIFA U20 World Cup 2023. The decision follows the removal of the original tournament host, Indonesia," announced the International Federation on 17/04/2023.

"FIFA has decided, due to the current circumstances, to remove Indonesia as the host of the U20 World Cup 2023," announced the body on 29/03/2023.
