”AIAC's board unanimously believes that, considering the daily massacres, which have also resulted in hundreds of deaths among trainers, trainers and athletes, it is legitimate, necessary, yes even a duty, to put a request for temporary exclusion of Israel from sports competitions at the center of the association talks”, it says in a public letter that the Italian trainers' association has sent to the Italian football association.

The trainers' association's hope is that the Italian football association will take their case forward in talks with the European Football Association (Uefa) and the International Football Association (Fifa).

Italy meets Israel on September 8 in the World Championship qualifying round. The match is played in Debrecen, Hungary, due to the war.
