Members of Indonesian U-20 national soccer team Arkhan Kaka (right) and Aditya Nugraha hold posters during a rally against the cancellation of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 31, 2023. Indonesian soccer players and fans reacted with tears and outrage after the country was stripped of hosting rights for the Under-20 World Cup only eight weeks before the start of the tournament amid political turmoil over Israel's participation, leaving Indonesian soccer at risk of further sanctions. Writings on the posters read "We lost against our own nation" and "We can only watch soccer". - AP
