TL;DR

FIFA opened disciplinary cases against Argentina after the 2026 World Cup final, charging two players with assault, the Argentina Football Association (AFA) for displaying a political banner, and fans for discriminatory chants and throwing objects; potential sanctions range from multi‑match bans for Leandro Paredes (and related penalties for Nahuel Molina and Roberto Ayala) to fines and crowd-control measures for the federation, while a ban from future World Cups is considered unlikely.
