FIFA sanctions Argentina players after final
The Disciplinary Committee of the International Football Association (FIFA) has issued harsh penalties against the Argentine national team players following their loss in the 2026 World Cup final to Spain with a 1-0 score at the stadium in New Jersey. The sanctions include a 10-match suspension for Leandro Paredes along with a fine of $90,000, due to his unsportsmanlike conduct, which involved grabbing Spanish player Eric García by the neck and knocking Gavi to the ground. The penalties also affected Nahuel Molina, who received a 7-match ban and a $90,000 fine, as well as Tigo Almada and Gavi, each suspended for one match and fined $30,000. These sanctions were issued in response to acts of violence and crowd disorder during the match, as well as violations of disciplinary rules related to misconduct and racist chants from the fans. It was announced that the Argentine Football Association will appeal the decisions.
