Rome, 23 April (LaPresse) – The possible inclusion of Italy in the 2026 World Cup, which US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Paolo Zampolli, is reported to have proposed to FIFA, “firstly, is not possible; secondly, is not appropriate. I don’t know which comes first. You qualify on the pitch.” This was how the Minister for Sport, Andrea Abodi, responded to reporters on the sidelines of an event at the Quirinale.
