FIFA has launched a disciplinary investigation into Argentina following violent scenes after the 2026 World Cup final against Spain and a separate incident involving a political banner displayed after the semi-final against England. Spain secured a 1-0 victory after extra time at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday to win the World Cup. The celebrations ended with confrontations involving several players and members of Argentina's coaching staff.

Argentina's Leandro Paredes clashed with Spain's Eric García, choking him moments after Spain's 1-0 victory in the World Cup final, sealed by Ferran Torres' decisive goal.

Fifa are set to investigate the post-match scenes before deciding whether to take additional disciplinary action - but violent conduct carries a three-match ban
