FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Argentine Football Association and its players for several alleged breaches during the World Cup. The investigation encompasses behavior throughout the tournament, including incidents following Argentina's loss in the final against Spain.
One of the primary charges involves a hand-written banner displayed after the semi-final win over England in Atlanta. Players brandished the sign, which declared that the Falkland Islands are Argentine, asserting sovereignty over the British overseas territory. This act was found to be in contravention of rules regarding demonstrations of a non-sporting nature.
Further disciplinary action has been taken against players Paredes and Molina for striking Spanish opponents moments after the final. Additionally, FIFA has opened cases regarding discriminatory chants and gestures made by fans.
