FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Argentina over their behaviour after the World Cup final loss to Spain and throughout the tournament. This is reported by infohub.kz.
The world football governing body appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to assess the events at the New York New Jersey Stadium following the final whistle. Multiple Argentina players and backroom staff were involved in altercations with Spain players after the 1-0 loss in July.
On the recommendation of the prosecutor, FIFA will investigate Argentina players Nahuel Molina (two counts) and Leandro Paredes (three counts), as well as assistant coach Roberto Ayala (one count) for alleged assault under Article 14 of FIFA's disciplinary code. Molina may also face disciplinary action for one count of alleged unsporting behavior under Article 14. Team-mate Thiago Almada and Spain midfielder Gavi are also accused of the same breach.
Under FIFA's disciplinary code, players and officials face at least a one-match suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct and at least three matches for assault.
