Trump's envoy's mischief continues to replace Italy with Iran Zampolli, special envoy of the criminal US president: Italy's chances of participating in the World Cup (instead of Iran) are more than 50 percent The World Cup should not be without Italy; this decision is up to Infantino and Trump!
Ahead of the World Cup, the Iranian flag was replaced with the Italian flag at Lumen Field in Seattle, USA, according to social media reports. As Tasnim notes, Iran was one of the first teams to qualify for the tournament, while Italy failed to qualify at all. "The Iranian flag is missing from the decorations surrounding the stadium, where the flags of all the tournament participants are displayed. Instead, it features the flag of Italy, which has failed to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time," the agency's report states. It was previously reported that the US was considering replacing the Iranian national football team with the Italian national team for the 2026 World Cup due to the conflict with Iran. However, the day before, media reported that the Italian national team had abandoned the theoretical idea of participating in the tournament. The country emphasized that such a scenario offends national pride and is not considered under any circumstances. The FIFA World Cup will be held from June 11 to July 19 in three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. More IZ RU news in MAX
New American show; Italian flag instead of Iran at World Cup exhibition In a strange and unprofessional move, the Italian flag was displayed instead of the Iranian flag at the World Cup exhibition in Seattle! This comes at a time when Italy was eliminated in the World Cup playoffs and did not qualify to participate in the competition. Previously, Paolo Zampolli, the US President's special envoy, had officially proposed to FIFA that Iran be replaced with Italy, but FIFA and Gianni Infantino categorically rejected the proposal. The Italian Football Federation also officially announced that it was not seeking to replace Iran. These disruptive actions by the Americans are taking place at a time when the Iranian national team has qualified for the World Cup as the third team, an event that the country's media is referring to, calling such actions unprofessional. nournews.ir @Nournews_IR
