Argentina player Leandro Paredes has been given a 10-game suspension for the role he played in the brawl after his country was defeated 1-0 by Spain in the 2026 World Cup final.<\/p>\n
FIFA\u2019s disciplinary committee has also handed his team-mate Nahuel Molina a 7-game ban.<\/p>\n
The South American country has also been ordered to play their next 2 home games with 50% capacity, though 1 game of that sanction is suspended.<\/p>\n
The football association of Argentina will also need to pay a fine of over 300,000 dollars for breaches of the FIFA disciplinary code relating to using a sports event for non-sporting demonstrations, team misconduct, and discriminatory chants and gestures by its fans.<\/p>\n
After beating England 2-1 in the World Cup \u00bd final, a few Argentina footballers showed a banner claiming Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory.<\/p>\n
In July, FIFA hired a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to assess what happened after the end of the World Cup final, when on-field clashes started between players from both nations after the final whistle.<\/p>\n
