Italy is facing a political and public outcry following its failure to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is now considering placing the Italian Football Federation under a special administration procedure, similar to insolvency proceedings. This move comes amid growing calls for significant changes within Italian football. The situation has evolved into a power struggle over the direction of the sport in the country. According to Politico, this crisis is becoming a key test of Meloni’s influence and leadership. The repeated failures on the international stage have ignited widespread discontent and demands for accountability. The proposed intervention signals a potential government takeover of the federation’s management.
