Gabriele Gravina has resigned as president of the Italian Football Federation after the national team failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

His resignation follows an emergency meeting after a penalty shootout loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the European World Cup qualifier played on Tuesday.

During a key meeting today, Gravina informed the top representatives of Lega Serie A, Serie B, Lega Pro, and the players’ and coaches’ associations of his resignation.

Gravina is stepping down from the post he took on in February 2025.

Meanwhile, the election for Gravina’s successor will be held on June 22.
