Indonesia refuses to play Fed Cup in Israel
April 27, 2006
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Indonesia refused to play a Fed Cup series in Israel
in July and wants the women's tennis matches switched to a neutral country.
Indonesia, home to about 190 million Muslims, has no diplomatic relations with
Israel and has long supported Palestinian independence.
"We cannot play in Israel," August Ferry Raturandang, the Indonesian Tennis
Association deputy secretary-general, said Thursday.
If the request for a venue change is denied, the Indonesian team will have to
forfeit. Raturandang told The Associated Press his group would be fined $5,000
and banned for a year.
The two countries have met twice in the Fed Cup -- in Italy (1974) and Japan
(1981) -- and Israel won both times.
Israel earned a promotion as a winner in the Europe/Africa Zone Group I. The
International Tennis Federation said Tuesday that Israel would host Indonesia
in the July 15-16 World Group II playoffs. Indonesia must win the July playoff
to stay in World Group II.
