FIFA U17 and U20 World Cups in 2021 Cancel Due to Covid

FIFA has canceled the Under-17 and Under-20 World Cups scheduled for next year because of the pandemic. 

The subsequent editions are actually attributable to be staged in 2023, with Indonesia still internet hosting the U20s and Peru the U17s. 

"The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenges for the hosting of international sporting events and to have a restrictive effect on international travel," FIFA stated. 

The governing body added "it became clear that the global situation has failed to normalize to a sufficient level to address the challenges associated with hosting both tournaments, including the feasibility of the relevant qualification pathways."
