FIFA Investigates Behavior of Argentine National Team Players After the 2026 World Cup Final

The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) is investigating the behavior of Argentine national team players following the World Cup final match against the Spanish national team.

This was reported by the Sky Sports television channel.

As a reminder, the match ended with a 1:0 victory for the Spaniards in extra time.

After the game, Argentine footballer Leandro Paredes first grabbed defender Eric Garcia by the throat and then pushed midfielder Gavi. His Argentine teammates then began to calm him down. Additionally, Argentine defender Nahuel Molina attempted to knock down Spanish footballer Rodri while he was celebrating the victory. One of the Argentine team's coaches, Roberto Ayala, attempted to punch Spanish player Dani Olmo in the face.

Furthermore, during the Spanish team's award ceremony, all Argentine players turned their backs on the winners. They walked over to the stands where their fans were and thanked them for their support. The Spaniards, meanwhile, formed a guard of honor for their final opponents as they stepped onto the podium to receive their silver medals.
