Luka Modric, midfielder for "Milan" and a legend of Croatian football, expressed hope that the Italian national team (“Squadra Azzurra”) will participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup (World Cup 2026). The Italian team has successfully secured a playoff spot and continues to fight for a place in the global tournament.
A World Cup Without Italy – A Tragedy!
Luka Modric highlighted the significance of Italian football to the FIFA World Cup. His strong remarks were reported by Gazzetta dello Sport:
“If the ‘Squadra Azzurra’ does not participate in this World Cup, it will be a tragedy. We hope the Italian team succeeds in the qualification games. Italy must be at the World Cup,” the experienced player stated.
Qualification and Hosting
It should be noted that the Italian national team will face the Northern Ireland team in a crucial game in the World Cup qualification stage.
The World Cup 2026 tournament will be held next summer in North America, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The absence of Italy, a nation rich in football history, from such a global sporting celebration would indeed be a significant loss for football fans.
