FIFA has issued disciplinary sanctions against several Argentine players, including a ten-match ban for Leandro Paredes, following post-match altercations during the 2026 World Cup final against Spain. The ruling also includes suspensions for Nahuel Molina and Thiago Almada, alongside a one-match ban for Spain's Gavi. These penalties represent a significant disciplinary response to on-field conduct during a major international sporting event.
