Beijing time on March 31 news, according to a number of media reports, Iran's 2-0 victory over Lebanon, about 2,000 Iranian female fans were banned from the game, but also in protest was expelled by pepper spray. FiFA is now under investigation, and Italian media quickly reported that Iran may have been expelled from the World Cup by FIFA.
Iran is currently the number one team in Asia and has no suspense in entering the World Cup. Female fans are also looking forward to watching the national team reach the World Cup, but Iran officially banned this. During the protest of female fans, they were treated roughly, which aroused the attention of foreign media.
The Italian media is most interested, because after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup, the Italian media is also paying attention to any channels that may enter the World Cup. This time, iran's approach may trigger a heavy penalty from FIFA, which was warned in 2019 for banning women from watching the ball. This time, the most serious result, of course, was iran's expulsion from the World Cup. However, this may not be very likely, if it does become a reality, who can replace Iran in the World Cup?
The first thing that comes to mind is the Asian team, does the national football team have a chance to replace it? The answer is obviously impossible, even if the Iranian team does not participate, it should be replaced by the third UAE in the group or the third place in the group of the national football team, Australia, and the national football team is only fifth in the group stage.
As for Italy, it is even less likely. If the European rematch team is chosen, the Italian team is unlikely to become the number one substitute because it does not stick to the final battle of the play-offs, and North Macedonia is still waiting! Unless, of course, FIFA directly makes up for the top-ranked teams, Italy has a glimmer of possibility.
