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.
Meanwhile, a move to impose an eight-year limit on the office of Fifa president has been heavily defeated. @BBC
