JAKARTA, May 12 — Indonesia is preparing a bid to host the 2028 Fifa Futsal World Cup following the country’s successful staging of the 2026 AFC Futsal Asian Cup earlier this year.
Indonesia’s Youth and Sports Minister Erick Thohir said discussions on the proposal had been raised with Fifa during the organisation’s 76th Congress in Vancouver, Canada, on April 30.
“Yes, it was conveyed yesterday. Later, of course, Fifa will decide,” he told reporters at the 2026 Indonesian Futsal Federation (FFI) Ordinary Congress, here, on Tuesday according to Antara News Agency.
Meanwhile FFI chairman Michael Sianipar described hosting the Fifa Futsal World Cup as “our shared dream”, saying the ambition grew after Indonesia’s successful hosting of the 2026 AFC Futsal Asian Cup. — Bernama
