Abstract We study a one-dimensional (1D) two-component atomic Fermi gas with an infinite intercomponent contact repulsion. It is found that adding an attractive nearly resonant odd-wave interaction breaking the rotational symmetry one can make the ground state ferromagnetic. A promising system for the observation of this itinerant ferromagnetic state is a 1D gas of 40K atoms, where three dimensional s-wave and p-wave Feshbach resonances are very close to each other and the 1D confinement significantly reduces the inelastic decay.
