Indonesia's bid to host the 2022 World Cup bid ends
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.
Indonesia was considered to be an outsider of the 11 original candidates which applied to host the tournament in 2018 or 2022.
Organisers of the bid had pledged to build seven new stadiums with matches to be played in 11 cities.
"[The government's] main concern is to develop the country and they will not support the bid committee as much as Fifa requested," added Valcke.
"We have informed Indonesia that because they have failed to provide a number of documents and guarantees, Indonesia is not any more a candidate for 2022."
