FIGC headquarters vandalised after World Cup fiasco

Some Italian fans vented their frustration at the Azzurri’s World Cup play-off elimination on Tuesday night, throwing eggs at the entrance to the FIGC headquarters in Via Allegri in Rome, according to reports in Italy.

FIGC President Gabriele Gravina returned to the headquarters on Wednesday morning, and upon his arrival, a fan held a banner urging him to resign.

The Azzurri have missed out on qualification for the World Cup for the third time in a row, the second under Gravina’s tenure.
