Indonesia has announced plans to demolish the stadium where at least 131 football fans died and hundreds were injured in a stampede this month.
President Joko Widodo said the Kanjuruhan stadium in Malang would be rebuilt according to safety standards set by FIFA.
He said the country must “thoroughly transform” how it managed the sport.
Mr Widodo made the announcement after meeting FIFA president Gianni Infantino earlier on Tuesday.
FIFA U20 World Cup in 2023 will have Indonesia as host. And they agreed to form a joint task force.
Speaking alongside Mr. Widodo, the FIFA chief said it was imperative that fans attending the tournament were provided with a safe environment.
“This is a football country, a country where football is a passion for over 100 million people,” he said. “We owe it to them that when they see a match, they are safe and secure.”

Six people, including police officers and organizers, are facing criminal charges over the crush, which is one of the world’s worst stadium disasters.
A maximum of five year sentence will be meted to them if found guilty.
The report found other factors that contributed, that include the stadium filled beyond capacity and locked exit doors. As well as a push by league officials to hold the game at night to secure higher television ratings.
Investigators called on the Indonesian Football Association’s board to step down, urging them to “resign as a form of responsibility”.
But Mr. Infantino has already assured organizers that Indonesia will not have the 2023 under-20 event stripped from it.
Some 24 countries will compete in venues across six Indonesian cities next summer. The Kanjuruhan stadium was not due to host any games during the competition.
