Live Bar February 14, the president of the Italian Football Association Gravina was interviewed by the media and talked about the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in the European zone play-offs. Gravina said the Italian Football Association had applied to postpone some of the Serie A leagues in March to allow the national team to prepare for the play-offs.
Gravina began by answering questions about the bid for Euro 2032: "We have made a proposal to bid for Euro 2032 and now we aim to host the Euro 2032 Championships, as well as to participate in the Qatar World Cup in December this year. ”
"If Italy doesn't qualify for the World Cup, it's going to be bad history. We missed two important penalties, but Italy could re-emerge in tough times. Mancini's work is optimistic that the Italian national team's project will not end with winning the European Championship or entering this World Cup. ”
On the question of the league fixtures during the Play-offs in March, Gravina replied: "We have asked for a postponement of the match, even though we know how much the Serie A fixture has been delayed. We'll see what the end result is. ”
"There is no conflict between Serie A and the Italian Football Federation, the current situation is that the two visions are in opposition. We support the modernization of Italian football, while the other part supports inaction and the preservation of tradition. ”
Italy will take part in the World Preliminary Tournament play-off against North Macedonia on March 25, with the winner facing the winner between Portugal and Turkey in the final play-off.
