Tonga and Samoa withdrew from the FIFA World Cup 2022
The FIFA World Cup 2022 schedule has been scrapped after Tonga and Samoa pulled out from preliminary competitions. The two Pacific Islands have been devastated by recent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The OFC has launched a fundraising campaign called Li'oa Ma'a Tonga to help rebuild homes, secure health and safety equipment, and distribute emergency kits.
Italy failed to qualify for the tournament
Italy has a recent history of missing out on the World Cup, with two successive outings. After winning the 2006 World Cup, Italy has flopped at the group stage in the 2010 and 2014 tournaments. The team has since failed to qualify for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and will now have to go through a playoff to compete in the 2026 tournament. It will be interesting to see how the team fare in the playoffs, since it's a much tougher competition.
