The World Cup concluded with Spain's victory over Argentina, but controversies surrounding the tournament persist. An investigation by the Copenhagen Group, an international network established under the Council of Europe's Macolin Convention, monitored all 104 matches and identified seven yellow alerts indicating potential irregularities based on various indicators. Four of these alerts were disclosed, involving matches featuring teams such as South Africa, the United States, Spain, and Cape Verde. In the Mexico vs. South Africa match, unusual betting patterns emerged after multiple red cards.
