Argentina's football federation and several players have been punished by FIFA for their conduct at the 2026 World Cup.

FIFA have announced a series of sanctions against the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and a number of individual players after disciplinary violations during the 2026 World Cup, most notably the post-match clash after the final on July 19.

The AFA have been fined a total of $321,000 (£235k) for offences linked to discriminatory chants and gestures by supporters, non-sporting demonstrations, team misconduct, and failures relating to match order and security.

FIFA have also instructed Argentina to restrict crowd capacity to 50% for their next home match.

A second stadium capacity restriction and $100,000 (£73k) of the fine have been suspended, subject to a probationary period, while $100,000 of the overall fine must be allocated to an anti-discrimination plan.

Individual suspensions have also been imposed on four members of the Argentina squad and staff following the confrontations at the end of the final. Meanwhile, one Spain player has also been sanctioned.

Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes will serve a 10-match ban and pay a $90,000 (£66k) fine, while defender Nahuel Molina has received a seven-match ban along with a $90,000 fine.

Argentina forward Thiago Almada and assistant coach Roberto Ayala have been given one-match and three-match suspensions respectively, with both also receiving a $30,000 (£22k) fine.

Spain midfielder Gavi will also serve a one-match suspension and has been told to pay a $30,000 fine.

FIFA have confirmed that all match bans will be served during the respective national teams' upcoming international fixtures in September and October.

All parties have 10 days to request a motivated decision before any possible appeal.

It is understood that part of Argentina's punishment is connected to the display of a Falklands banner by players and supporters after the team's semi-final win over England.

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso was pictured with the flag in question, which FIFA considered an unsporting demonstration, before it was placed on the pitch in front of Argentina supporters.
