The World Beach Games had been set to be staged in Bali from Aug 5-15 but was cancelled after the Indonesian government pulled the budget, the global group of national Olympic bodies known as ANOC said Tuesday.
Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country and does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel, while publicly supporting the Palestinian cause. No political issue was cited in the ANOC statement but the problem loomed after Indonesia’s refusal to comply with FIFA’s hosting requirements to let Israel play in the U20 soccer tournament it had qualified for several months earlier.
Indonesia’s political stance on hosting events prompted the International Olympic Committee to caution sports bodies about picking the country for events.
