Argentina’s Paredes banned for 10 games
Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes has been given a 10-match ban for the role he played in on-field clashes after his side were beaten 1-0 by Spain in the 2026 World Cup final.
In addition, the fine of $321,000 includes a punishment for the Argentina team unveiling a "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" – the Malvinas are Argentinian – banner following their semi-final triumph against England.
Gavi - who said he did not think Paredes should be punished - will serve a one-match suspension and pay a fine of $30,000 (£22,000) for his part in the post-match confrontations, as will Argentina's Thiago Almada.
