FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has imposed suspensions ranging from one to ten matches following post-match incidents after the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Leandro Paredes received the harshest penalty with a ten-match ban, followed by Nahuel Molina with seven matches and Roberto Ayala with three. Thiago Almada and Spain's Gavi were each suspended for one match.
The penalties stem from physical altercations that occurred after the final whistle, with specific disciplinary reports noting that Paredes assaulted Gavi, Molina struck Rodri in the chest with a fist, and Ayala hit Olmo. Additionally, the Argentine national team will play its upcoming matches under the weight of these disciplinary measures.
