Figc President Giovanni Malagò said he is currently under attack. "What for? For an electoral procedure, of which I am not only not guilty, but a victim," he stated during the 'una generazione senza mondiale' panel at Fenix in Rome. "Now there is the issue of player registration, and I say this in front of Minister Abodi, who is listening remotely," he added. "I am the only Italian FIGC president to have won a futsal tournament; for 12 years I was president of CONI and I am the only individual member of the IOC. But now the problem suddenly is that someone says there is no player registration."

Malagò continued, "I have always respected Giorgia Meloni and always appreciated her when she didn't have this level of consensus. She always said, 'let people decide what they want.' So I ask: is it right that a person elected with almost 70% of the vote has these kinds of problems?"
