Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC)

The Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC), the Italian Football Federation, is the governing body of football in Italy. It is responsible for organizing and overseeing all aspects of Italian football, including the national team, Serie A, and other leagues. The FIGC is currently facing a significant crisis due to the Italian national team's failure to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the third consecutive time. This failure has triggered a series of resignations, including that of the FIGC's president, Gabriele Gravina, and the team's delegation chief, Gianluigi Buffon. Furthermore, the national team coach, Gennaro Gattuso, has also resigned. These events highlight the intense pressure and scrutiny surrounding the FIGC and Italian football following the World Cup qualification failure. The FIGC's future leadership and direction are now uncertain as the organization navigates this period of upheaval and seeks to rebuild the national team's competitiveness.
