FIFA Disciplinary Actions Against Argentina Players Post-Final

FIFA has commenced disciplinary actions against Argentina internationals Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina, along with assistant coach Roberto Ayala, due to post-match altercations with Spain players following the 2026 FIFA World Cup final held in New Jersey. The incidents involved confrontations with Spain's Gavi, Rodri, and Dani Olmo.

After a week-long investigation, FIFA officials determined that the three individuals could face assault charges. If found guilty, they may receive suspensions ranging from several games to months.

Additionally, Spain's Gavi and Argentina's Thiago Almada have been implicated in unsportsmanlike behavior during the celebrations after the match. FIFA has also opened multiple disciplinary cases against the Argentine Football Association (AFA) for various violations, including discriminatory songs and team misconduct.

Argentina's supporters displayed a politically charged banner during the tournament, which may lead to further scrutiny and penalties for the AFA.
