FIFA rejects proposal to replace Iran with Italy

FIFA is not considering the scenario of replacing the Iranian national team with Italy ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

Idman.Biz reports that this statement was made by the International Federation of Football Associations.

Previously, Paolo Zampolli, the special representative of US President Donald Trump, had come up with such an initiative. He stated that the four-time world champion Italian national team could obtain the right to participate in the tournament without passing the qualifying round. However, this idea did not gain support within FIFA.

Geopolitical tension continues around Iran's participation in the World Cup against the background of relations with the United States and Israel. However, Tehran reports that the team is ready to compete and plans to perform without any restrictions.
