On 29 March 2023, Indonesia were stripped of hosting rights to the event, less than two months prior to the tournament's scheduled opening match. The revocation of hosting rights were attributed to the objection of certain regional governments of Indonesia to the participation of Israel; a nation which Muslim-majority Indonesia has no former diplomatic relations with, amidst the continuing conflicts with Palestine.
On 17 April 2023, Argentina was selected as the new host for the tournament.
