Trajkovski’s goal, last Thursday in Palermo, shattered the dream of millions of fans to see Italy again at the World Cup, scheduled for next winter in Qatar. But Doha, impossible to reach after the burning defeat, today could miraculously reappear on the horizon. Iran, in fact, ended up under the Fifa’s magnifying glass for not allowing two thousand fans who had bought tickets to attend the match against Lebanon valid for the world qualifiers to enter the stadium. The Federation, chaired by Gianni Infantino, already three years ago warned the Asian nation from adopting this type of discrimination.
Iran, already qualified for the world championship, could therefore be excluded from the event as a consequence of the suspension or expulsion of its football federation from FIFA. Should this hypothesis materialize, the repechage of a team will then be at the total discretion of the world football organization. Italy, reigning European champion and with four world championships on the bulletin board, would thus become a very serious candidate to fly to Doha. A dream for the fans who asked the Sisal experts through Betting On Demand to quote Italy’s repechage at the World Cup, but a not so probable hypothesis, so much so that seeing Donnarumma and his teammates protagonists in Qatar is worth 100 times the stake.
