The British government has urged FIFA to investigate Argentina's football team after their players displayed a banner claiming sovereignty over the Falkland Islands during celebrations following their World Cup semifinal win over England.

The banner referred to the disputed territory at the centre of the 1982 war between Argentina and the United Kingdom.

After beating England, the Argentinian team unfurled a banner that read “Malvinas are Argentinian,” a reference to the British-administered Falkland Islands.
