FIFA Launches Investigation into Argentina After Final Incidents

FIFA is set to open disciplinary proceedings regarding incidents involving several members of the Argentina squad following the World Cup final against Spain, Sky Sports reports. The organization will analyze referee reports and match footage before deciding on potential sanctions.

Among the events under review is Leandro Paredes' expulsion for aggressive behavior after the final whistle. He reportedly struck Spanish players Eric Garcia and Gavi during the title celebrations.

Also under investigation are the actions of Nahuel Molina, who allegedly punched Rodri during the festivities, and the purported involvement of Argentina's assistant coach Roberto Ayala in clashes, where he is said to have pushed Dani Olmo.

Beyond the physical altercations, FIFA will also assess the conduct of the Argentine delegation during the awards ceremony. Several players turned their backs as Spain lifted the World Cup trophy—a gesture that sparked significant controversy.

Currently, the governing body has not announced any potential penalties and will await the conclusion of the disciplinary process before issuing an official decision, which is expected in a few weeks.
