Trump envoy asks FIFA to replace Iran with Italy at World Cup to appease Meloni
Story by Tom Morgan
One of Donald Trumps top envoys is lobbying Fifa to replace Iran with Italy at the upcoming World Cup.
The swap is being mooted to ease tensions between Trump and Giorgia Meloni, Italys Prime Minister, after the US presidents attacks on Pope Leo XIV.
Paolo Zampolli, a US special envoy and old friend of Trumps, confirmed he had floated the plan to Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president.
Italys four World Cup titles justify awarding it the slot while the US wages war on Iran, he explained. I confirm I have suggested to Trump and Infantino that Italy replace Iran at the World Cup, Zampolli told the Financial Times. Im an Italian native and it would be a dream to see the Azzurri at a US-hosted tournament. With four titles, they have the pedigree to justify inclusion.

Zampolli is the Trump-Epstein associate who got ICE to arrest, incarcerate and deport his former partner, model Amanda Ungaro, to Brazil over a custody dispute effectively isolating her voice from the U.S. press. Ungaro spoke to El Pais and two days later Melanie is on tee vee talking about never knowing the Epstein and Maxwell.
