FIFA has confirmed the opening of a disciplinary investigation into the Argentina national team, describing various behaviors by players and coaching staff after the 2026 World Cup final as "repugnant." The match, held in New Jersey, was won by Spain 1-0.
A special investigator has been appointed to review footage and reports to determine any violations of disciplinary regulations. Issues include physical altercations, protests, and disrespectful conduct during the trophy ceremony.
Meanwhile, an online petition demanding Argentina's exclusion from future tournaments has garnered over 23 million signatures. FIFA has not yet provided a timeline for the investigation's conclusion or specified potential sanctions.
