FIFA sanctions Argentina over Falklands flag
FIFA has imposed a $10,000 fine on the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and restricted attendance for Argentina's next two home matches due to the display of a banner stating "The Falkland Islands are Argentine" during the 2026 World Cup semifinals. The governing body cited violations of its rules against political demonstrations and imposed additional fines for stadium conduct. Argentina's federation can appeal the decision within ten days, amid ongoing debates over patriotic expressions in international sports.
