Indonesia Hosts the U-17 World Cup, Netizens Joke: Don’t Tell Ganjar and Koster

There are also netizens who wonder whether Israel will also qualify for the U-17 World Cup for fear of being rejected again by various parties.

“Will Israel pass or not, then they will be rejected again,” said @Swd ***.

“Israel is invited or not,” said Red***.

“Israel passed the U-17 qualification or not? Do Ganjar and Koster know about this news?” said @ABT ***.

Israel Did Not Pass Qualification

Meanwhile, quoting bola.com, 19 teams have managed to secure tickets to qualify for the 2023 U-17 World Cup finals. Of the six FIFA member confederations, only Asia (AFC) does not yet have representatives.

The AFC will be represented by four teams from the semifinalists of the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup. Currently, the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup has only entered the quarter-finals.

There are eight countries fighting over the remaining four tickets to the semifinals as well as securing tickets for the U-17 World Cup, namely Thailand, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Iran, Yemen, Japan and Australia.

So, will the Israeli national team appear in this year’s U-17 World Cup? Israel is certain to miss the tournament, having failed to qualify for the 2023 U-17 Asian Cup finals.
