Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported13m ago
FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has imposed severe sanctions on Argentine national team players Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina, alongside fines for the Argentine Football Association (AFA). The penalties stem from an investigation into incidents that occurred following the World Cup final hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
The disciplinary actions address both player conduct during the tournament's conclusion and a controversial Malvinas banner associated with the AFA. These official rulings were announced by FIFA on Friday, August 21, concluding the investigation into the post-match events of the 2026 World Cup final involving the Argentine and Spanish selections.
