Overview
- On Friday, August 21 FIFA announced that Leandro Paredes was suspended for ten representative matches and Nahuel Molina for seven following the final incidents.
- The governing body handed one‑match bans to Thiago Almada and Spain's Gavi and suspended Argentina staff member Roberto Ayala for three matches.
- The Argentine Football Association was fined $321,000, partly suspended, and ordered to play its next two home games at 50 percent capacity with one match's restriction held in reserve.
- FIFA published referee Slavko Vinči's body‑cam footage showing him asking Lionel Messi to calm Paredes and cited that video in its disciplinary decision.
- The sanctions stem from late clashes at the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium—including Molina striking Rodri and Paredes grabbing Eric García—and will be served in future representative matches, likely affecting Argentina's squad selection and public scrutiny of the federation.
