FIFA revises Argentina's penalties post-2026
The Argentine Football Association has reported that FIFA has approved its request to implement sanctions imposed on its players and the federation during friendly matches of Category 'A' or official matches under the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL). These sanctions follow incidents related to the 2026 World Cup against Spain. The penalties include bans for players such as Leandro Paredes (10 matches) and monetary fines, in addition to requiring the Argentine Football Association to allocate part of the fine to campaigns combating discrimination. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee also decided that these sanctions can be enforced during friendly or official matches initially, with the rationale for the decisions to be issued later, allowing for potential appeals. The sanctions stem from violations committed during matches, including incidents that occurred in the final game.
