Hey hey hey, Smashi Sports Fam! 🌟⚽🏀🎾There are some interesting developments in world football this week. FIFA and Trump are ganging up on Iran, while Hakim Ziyech is standing up against Zionism. Meanwhile, an Egyptian talent is rising up in Brazil’s Santos academy!
FIFA Actively Trying to Include Italy in 2026 World Cup & Removing Iran
FIFA is hoping to organize a small tournament for teams that failed to qualify for the World Cup. The goal is to find a team to replace Iran in the World Cup, should they refuse to participate in it.
With Italy being one of those teams, FIFA as well as President Donald Trump are actively trying to get Iran out of the World Cup so that they can replace them with Italy.
Italy in their eyes would be a bigger draw and a more lucrative team to participate in the World Cup than Iran.
“Zionism Doesn’t Scare Us” Hakim Ziyech Responds to Ben-Gvir’s Threats
Hakim Ziyech spoke out and criticized Israel’s new death penalty law against Palestinians. A law that was criticized by many because it will be used to weaponize and legalize the genocide of Palestinians.
Israel’s Itamar Ben-Gvir then threatened Ziyech and accused him of antisemitism. Ben-Gvir stated that they will find and get everyone who is antisemitic, threatening Ziyech with violence.
Ziyech then responded calmly on his social media and stated that “we do not fear Zionism”. The star’s reply was met with huge support and praise from people online and around the world for standing up for what is right, with some fans claiming “We Are All Ziyech”.
