President of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) Gabriele Gravina looks on during a training session in Iserlohn, western Germany, on June 11, 2024, ahead of the UEFA Euro 2024 football championship. Italy's Sport Minister Andrea Abodi said on April 1, 2026 the head of the country's football federation should step down after the national team failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup. The Azzurri fell at the play-offs again, this time after a penalty shoot-out against Bosnia and Hercegovina on March 31, and will miss this summer's finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
