FIFA launches disciplinary probe into Argentina after World Cup 2026 final fallout

FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Argentina after post-final clashes with Spain following their World Cup 2026 final loss. Nahuel Molina (two counts), Leandro Paredes (three counts), and assistant coach Roberto Ayala (one count) face assault charges, with Molina also facing a count of unsporting behaviour; Thiago Almada and Spain’s Gavi are accused of the same breach. Penalties under FIFA rules start at a one-match suspension for unsporting conduct and at least three matches for assault.
