FIFA bans Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes for 10 matches following the World Cup final scuffle, according to reports from multiple outlets. FIFA also imposes additional sanctions connected to the incident, including suspensions for Argentina players and a fine for the Argentina team.
Winnipeg Free Press reports that FIFA suspends three Argentina players for involvement in the final scuffle and highlights the 10-game ban for Paredes. Channel NewsAsia similarly reports the 10-game suspension for Paredes, and adds that Argentina is fined as part of FIFA’s disciplinary action.
The outlets agree on the core disciplinary outcomes—Paredes’ 10-match ban and FIFA’s sanctions following the final incident—while differing slightly in how they frame the broader set of punishments (including references to other suspended Argentina players and the team fine).
