FIGC President Gravina Re-Elected for a Third Term | OneFootball

“We must forge ahead on our path and achieve the objectives football really needs. I look at the 2026 World Cup with the same angst as any Italian. I don’t want to convey it to the coach and the players. We want to go to the United States and need to collect all our energies to do it.” “The only time when I thought about not running against was in October 2023. It was a personal choice, but the constituents made me realize that I had been chosen as a reference point and would have felt betrayed had I left. I would do the same things all over again. I’ve always trusted my collaborators, and I know many turned their back on me afterward, but it doesn’t amount to much. It’s part of life.”

“We wished to give continuity to the work we started a few years ago. I’m upbeat and optimistic. The climate is nice. I hope for a very bright future for the whole movement. There’s a lot to do, especially in terms of infrastructures, and not just about the stadiums.”
