FIFA suspends multiple Argentina players after World Cup Final brawl

Following the 2026 World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium, FIFA has handed down significant suspensions and fines to numerous Argentine players and officials due to a post-match altercation with Spain. Argentina's Leandro Paredes received a 10-game suspension and $90,000 fine for physical altercations, while Nahuel Molina was suspended for seven games and fined the same amount. Other disciplinary actions included suspensions for Thiago Almada and team official Roberto Ayala. FIFA also imposed a $310,000 fine on the Argentine Football Association arising from fan misconduct during the match. All punishments may be appealed, as the actions that led to these sanctions were not fully captured by FIFA's live broadcast.
