    World Cup 2026: Argentina’s Paredes banned for 10 games over World Cup final clashes

    Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes has been given a 10-match ban for the role he played in on-field clashes after his side were beaten 1-0 by Spain in the 2026 World Cup final.

    Fifa’s disciplinary committee has also handed his team-mate Nahuel Molina a seven-match suspension.

    Argentina have also been ordered to play their next two home matches with 50% capacity, though one match of that sanction is suspended.

    The Argentinian Football Association (AFA) has been fined $321,000 (£235,000) for breaches of the Fifa disciplinary code relating to using a sports event for demonstrations of a non-sporting nature, team misconduct, and discriminatory chants and gestures by its supporters.

    Fifa have ordered that $100,000 (£73,000) of the fine must be invested in a plan to combat discrimination – and $100,000 (£73,000) of the fine is suspended, with a probationary period to apply.

    After defeating England 2-1 in the World Cup semi-final, several Argentina players held up a banner claiming Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory.

    Last month, Fifa appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to assess what happened after the final whistle at the New York New Jersey Stadium, when multiple Argentina players and backroom staff were involved in altercations with Spain players.

    As well as their suspensions, Paredes and Molina will both pay fines of $90,000 (£66,000).

    Spain midfielder Gavi will serve a one-match suspension and pay a fine of $30,000 (£22,000) for his part in the post-match confrontations, as has Argentina’s Thiago Almada.

    Roberto Ayala, a member of Argentina’s coaching staff, has been given a three-match suspension and a fine of $30,000.
