Argentina hit with FIFA sanctions probe over World Cup final chaos and Falklands banner

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.
