Beijing time on April 1 news, the Italian media "News" pointed out that if Iran does not qualify for the Qatar World Cup, Italy is expected to be replaced, and now, FIFA executive member Christilin said that even if Iran is expelled from the World Cup, it will not be Italy's turn to make up, but the Asian team to make up. Obviously, the national football team is even an Asian team.
Because female fans were not allowed to enter the stadium to watch the ball, the Home Stadium of iran caused controversy, and they had the possibility of being expelled from the World Cup.
Now, FIFA Executive Commissioner Christilin has responded to the matter – first, FIFA has not yet discussed expelling Iran from the Qatar World Cup. Second, even if Iran is punished, it is still Asian teams that will be replaced. Third, Italy will no longer want to enter the World Cup in Qatar, which is completely impossible!
Christilin's statement gave the national football team a faint glimmer of light, if Iran is punished, it will be the Asian team to make up, as for the rules of the replacement, it is not known now. But at least, if Iran is expelled, the national football team will definitely have a drama, after all, China is the biggest market for the World Cup. From the perspective of making money, FIFA prefers china to participate in the World Cup rather than Italy.
Unfortunately, the national football team itself is not contentious and does not have the strength to enter the World Cup. Even, the next World Cup will expand the army, in terms of the downward trend of the national football team, it is still no play to enter the World Cup.
Iran is the 1st and 12th in Asia, they are the team with the highest number of points, ranking 21st in the world!
As for Italy, in the previous World Preliminary Round European Zone play-off semi-finals, the Blues lost 1-0 to North Macedonia, and later, Portugal defeated North Macedonia to qualify for the World Cup. Italy missed the World Cup for two consecutive years, which is a disastrous situation.
At present, the World Cup has confirmed 29 seats, leaving only 3 seats. There is 1 place left in the European Play-offs – Wales vs Scotland/Ukraine; and 2 Intercontinental Play-offs – Australia/UAE vs Peru, Costa Rica vs New Zealand.
According to the plan, the Qatar World Cup will take place from November 21 to December 18, 2022, which will be the first World Cup to be held in the northern hemisphere winter.
