Sports3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
FIFA has imposed historic sanctions and fines against the Argentine Football Association and several members of its national team following disciplinary investigations into incidents during the 2026 World Cup. The punishments stem from clashes involving Argentina players and opponents during both the semifinal and the July 19 World Cup final against Spain at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
Among the individual penalties, midfielder Leandro Paredes received a 10-match international suspension, marking the strongest punishment handed down by world football's governing body in the ruling announced on Friday. In total, five players and team officials were sanctioned by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee after it reviewed reports detailing the tournament altercations.
