The International Football Federation (FIFA) has opened a disciplinary case against the Argentine Football Association (AFA). This was reported on the FIFA website.
The statement said that the case was filed due to a possible violation of articles that relate to offensive behavior and violation of the principles of fair play, as well as misconduct by players and officials. It is noted that we are talking about the behavior of the players in the final match of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
