Friendly called off

INDONESIAN authorities have cancelled a soccer friendly against New Zealand in April because of security reasons. New Zealand had agreed to play the Indonesians at Jakarta on April 1 as part of a two-match tour of southeast Asia.

But New Zealand Football chief executive Michael Glading said the game was scratched because Indonesia were worried that it coincided with local elections. "There were no threats or anything like that, it was just a matter of timing," Glading said."
