FIFA opened a file against the AFA and identified the footballers who would be sanctioned for the incidents in the final

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee announced the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and several players involved in incidents during the 2026 World Cup. The investigation into the AFA includes allegations of violating articles related to unauthorized demonstrations, inappropriate behavior, discrimination, and disorderly conduct. Players such as Leandro Paredes, Nahuel Molina, Thiago Almada, Roberto Ayala, and Spanish player Pablo Martín Páez Gavira (Gavi) face individual charges stemming from events during the final match between Spain and Argentina. The report references discriminatory chants and gestures by Argentine players and fans, particularly after their semi-final match against England, where they displayed flags referencing Argentina’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. Additionally, the committee received a report from a designated legal expert regarding incidents following the final, leading to multiple disciplinary actions against the players.
