FIFA imposes unofficial penalty on France-Paraguay referee
The referee of the France vs. Paraguay Round of 16 match at the 2026 World Cup, Uzbek official Elgez Tantashiev, faced widespread criticism due to his controversial decisions. The game showed 29 fouls committed by Paraguayan players, yet the referee only awarded 13 fouls without issuing any cards, which angered fans and drew the media's ire. It is expected that this will impact his future in upcoming tournaments, although it is unlikely he will face any official punishment from FIFA.
