FIFA Opens Disciplinary Case After Argentina’s World Cup Celebrations

Less than a month after Argentina’s thrilling World Cup victory, the Argentine Football Association could face possible discipline from FIFA for several violations that took place during the country’s championship celebration in Qatar.

The FIFA disciplinary committee announced Friday a disciplinary case has been opened against Argentina “due to potential breaches of articles 11 (Offensive behaviour and violations of the principles of fair play) and 12 (Misconduct of players and officials) of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.” The committee also cited violations of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 regulations “in conjunction with the Media and Marketing regulations” for the event as another reason for possible disciplinary measures.
