FIFA has officially opened disciplinary proceedings against the Argentinian Football Association (AFA) following the conclusion of the World Cup. The governing body’s investigation focuses on several incidents that allegedly occurred during the tournament, including a specific event where a banner referencing the Falkland Islands was displayed after Argentina's semi-final victory over England.

While both Sky News and Sky Sports confirm that an investigation is underway, the outlets provide slightly different contexts regarding the scope of the inquiry. Sky News explicitly highlights the Falklands banner as a primary driver of the disciplinary action. In contrast, Sky Sports frames the investigation more broadly, noting that the proceedings concern potential breaches of multiple FIFA regulations throughout the duration of the World Cup final and surrounding matches.

At this stage, FIFA has not released specific details regarding the potential penalties the AFA might face, nor have they provided a timeline for the conclusion of the investigation. The AFA has not yet issued a formal public response to the opening of these proceedings. The investigation remains ongoing as FIFA reviews the conduct of the team and associated parties during the tournament.
