International Association Football Federation(FIFA) announced Peru has withdrawn from a host of competitions FIFA U17 World Cup 2023 after discussions between FIFA and the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF)
“The move was made given the inability of the host country to fulfill its commitments to completing the infrastructure required to stage the tournament.” FIFA said in official statement.
“Despite a very positive working relationship between FIFA and the FPF, it has been determined that there is now not sufficient time to secure the required investment and complete the necessary work with the Peruvian government ahead of the tournament start date.”
“FIFA would like to express its thanks to the FPF for their efforts, and remains open to organizing a competition in Peru in the future.”
The tournament remains scheduled to take place from 10 November to 2 December 2023, but the Bureau of the FIFA Council will now designate a new host in due course.
