According to Corriere dello Sport, Gabriele Gravina politely declined Giovanni Malagò's invitation and will not attend Italy's match against Belgium at the Stadio Olimpico.

Luca Buonifiglio, president of the Italian National Olympic Committee, will be present for Roberto Mancini's second debut as head coach of the Italian national team. Former president of the Italian Football Federation Gabriele Gravina will not attend.

Luca Buonifiglio and Malagò will be among the 40,000 spectators at the Stadio Olimpico. Also present will be technical director and president of the Italian Football Center Ranieri and delegation head Daria Biancardi. Biancardi is currently awaiting a decision from Italy's National Anti-Corruption Authority regarding potential conflicts of interest with her role as vice president of the Italian National Olympic Committee.

Buonifiglio and Malagò will watch the match from the stands. In Rome, 40,000 tickets have already been sold in support of Mancini's second stint with the Italian national team, and ticket sales continue.

Gravina, who previously served as president of the Italian Football Federation, resigned after Italy failed to qualify for last year's World Cup in Qatar. Malagò personally invited Gravina to the Stadio Olimpico, but Gravina, while grateful, ultimately decided to politely decline. He felt his presence might seem inappropriate and that another occasion would be more fitting. On October 5, he will travel to Pescara to watch Italy's U21 team play Poland.

As of yesterday evening, just over 39,000 tickets had been sold for the match. The Italian Football Federation will also hold a minute of silence before the match and organize a special tribute to two recently deceased Italian legends, Sandro Mazzola and Franco Baresi.
