When one person hurts another, common sense dictates that the person should apologize and, preferably, make amends for the harm they may have caused. Apologize, make amends, and ensure it won’t happen again. These seem like basic rules of coexistence. Coexistence among people, but also among sectors of a society and among entire nations. History shows us that coexistence is not the norm. Colonialism and exploitation have been present, but the perpetrators of these crimes rarely acknowledge them.

Neither FIFA nor Italy supported the proposal by US Special Envoy Paolo Zampolli to replace Iran with Italy in the 2026 North American World Cup. Born in Italy, the US government’s Special Envoy for Global Affairs confirmed to the British newspaper Financial Times that he suggested this possibility to US President Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
In March, Infantino had said that “the matches will be played where they are scheduled to be played, according to the draw”. “Iran has to come. They represent their people, they qualified, and the players want to play,” he later stated in mid-April during an economic conference organized by the CNBC television channel in Washington.

It ended the Estado Novo regime, brought democracy, and accelerated the collapse of Portugal’s colonial empire in Africa.
