FIFA opened an investigation into a post-match brawl involving multiple Argentina players and staff after Spain's World Cup victory, examining potential breaches of disciplinary rules that could lead to significant suspensions and fines. A previously reported red card for Leandro Paredes was removed from official records, while Enzo Fernandez had already been dismissed in extra time. The probe will review conduct under Article 13, referencing past disciplinary precedents involving Luis Rubiales and Luis Suarez. Argentina also face separate proceedings for displaying a political banner after their semi-final win over England, with several players potentially subject to sanctions.
