FIFA investigates Argentina for 2026 World Cup
The International Federation of Football (FIFA) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against the Argentine Football Association and three national team players due to events that occurred after Argentina's loss in the World Cup final against Spain. The potential violations include using stadiums for unruly protests, misconduct, discrimination, and racism, as well as issues related to order and security during matches. Investigations have also been conducted into fan behavior and the display of a banner reading "Falkland Islands are Argentine" following the semi-final match against England, a highly sensitive issue in Argentina-UK relations. Regarding the players, proceedings have been opened against Leandro Paredes, Néstor Molina, and Téo Galdámez for attacks on Spanish players immediately after the final match, with Paredes facing multiple charges due to his involvement in fights and physical assaults.
