Indonesia will not face sanctions from football’s world governing body FIFA over the police use of tear gas inside a packed football stadium that led to a stampede and crush which killed 131 people, including 17 children.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo said FIFA President Gianni Infantino had written in a letter to him about potential collaborations between Indonesia and FIFA, and the country would remain the host of next year’s Under-20 World Cup joined by 24 countries from five continents.
