"I'm not sure what the football world is guilty of, because betting is legal in Italy. We, on the other hand, punish, whereas the Italian court system does not." This was said by FIGC President Gabriele Gravina in an interview with the 'Soul' show, which will be broadcast next Sunday on TV 2000 and a preview of which was provided and reported by Ansa. "In the world of sport, moral issues are fundamental," he said. "We always talk about values, and we try to demonstrate to young people how important image is, cultivating passion while respecting sport's great values. From a scenario like that of betting you get out via a process of formation, I would talk about a true societal scourge that has also touched sports." "Interests now predominate, we have been experiencing it exponentially in recent times - continues the federation's number one - We experienced it as the FIGC by refusing a proposal to organize the 2030 World Cup alongside Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Aware of the project's substantial likelihood of success, yet nonetheless convinced. We did so because of international issues related to the Regeni case, as well as because we did not share certain principles. You can't pretend that nothing is going on all the time."
