Journalistic reports revealed a decision by the International Federation of Football, "FIFA", against Argentina after the World Cup final match against Spain, where the competitions ended on Sunday evening.
MetLife Stadium hosted the World Cup final match between the Argentine and Spanish national teams, 2026 edition, where the latter won with a goal without reply.
The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported, citing the international "Sky Sports", that FIFA will open a disciplinary investigation into the incidents in which a number of Argentine national team players were involved following the World Cup final yesterday.
It explained that FIFA will analyze the referees' reports and match footage before the federation makes a decision regarding imposing sanctions.
It stated that among the incidents to be investigated is the sending off of Leandro Paredes after the end of the match for misconduct after he was involved in a brawl with Spanish players during their celebrations.
It also includes Nahuel Molina, the Argentine player, punching Rodri during the celebrations, and the involvement of assistant coach Roberto Ayala in the altercation, where he pushed Dani Olmo.
It pointed out that FIFA will assess the behavior of the Argentine national team during the trophy presentation ceremony to Spain, after a number of players turned their backs when it was lifted by the opponent, a gesture that sparked widespread controversy today.
FIFA has not announced any potential sanctions, as it will wait until the disciplinary procedures are completed before issuing an official decision, which may happen within several weeks.
