A close friend of Trump's suggested that Italy replace Iran in the World Cup. He told Trump and FIFA's president, Gianni Infantino, about his idea. But FIFA says Iran will still play in the US.

The person who suggested the idea, Paolo Zampolli, talked to the Financial Times about it. He said he told Trump and Infantino that Italy should replace Iran.

Zampolli wants to see Italy play in the US. He thinks they have a good chance of winning because they have won four World Cups.
