⚖️After the World Cup: FIFA opens disciplinary case against AFA

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee confirmed the opening of proceedings against the Argentine Football Association (AFA) for multiple violations of its Disciplinary Code. The case includes discriminatory chants, security failures, the throwing of objects, and non-compliance with protocols during the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

Charges against the players and coaching staff

The case file includes individual charges following the incidents recorded during the final match between Spain and Argentina. FIFA is investigating Argentine players Leandro Paredes —who faces three charges— and Nahuel Molina, as well as coaching staff member Roberto Ayala, for alleged assault (article 14.1.i).

Proceedings for unsporting conduct

Likewise, the governing body opened cases for unsporting conduct (article 14.1.b) against Argentina’s Thiago Almada, an additional charge against Nahuel Molina, and a charge against Spanish player Pablo Martín Páez Gavira "Gavi".

The parties involved have already been given the legal deadline to submit their responses and corresponding arguments. After reviewing the evidence and evaluating the defense, the Disciplinary Committee will issue an official ruling in the coming weeks.
