Confirm. Official news from Buenos Aires around 5 minutes ago. Argentina, winner of FIFA World Cup 2022, and host of FIFA World Cup U20 2023, decided to play with China and then Indonesia, next June 2023. In China & Indonesia, not in Argentina. Specific Indonesia: June 19th, 2023 (Messi’s birthday: June 24th). This is after Indonesia was canceled to be host of FIFA World Cup U20 2023. And after China withdrew as host of AFC Asia Cup 2023 because of surging coronavirus in 2022 (after Winter Olympic 2022 in Beijing). Specific for China, this is not for the first time withdrawn. The 2003 edition FIFA Women World Cup was originally awarded to China, but was moved to the United States in May 2003 due to the SARS outbreak.
This is the 3rd and 4th game by Argentina after wins over France in the Final World Cup 2022. The 1st game was vs Panama (March 23rd, 2023), 2nd was vs Curacao (March 28th, 2023).
Because this is an official statement from the Argentina side, not yet a decision about promotor or ticketing coordinator for Argentina vs Indonesia — arguably it will be held in GBK (Gelora Bung Karno) Stadium.
