Indonesia are out of the running to host the
2022 World Cup, football's governing body Fifa has
said.
Fifa announced that Indonesia were no longer a candidate as they
had failed to provide government guarantees.
"The government said their main concern was the people of the
country and they would not support the bid," said Fifa secretary
general Jerome Valcke.
Indonesia was considered to be an outsider of the 11 original
candidates which applied to host the tournament in 2018 or
2022.
Organisers of the bid had pledged to build seven new stadiums
with matches to be played in 11 cities.
"[The government's] main concern is to develop the country and
they will not support the bid committee as much as Fifa requested,"
added Valcke.
"We have informed Indonesia that because they have failed to
provide a number of documents and guarantees, Indonesia is not any
more a candidate for 2022."
