Fifa has launched a disciplinary investigation into violent scenes that erupted after Spain's World Cup final win over Argentina, with several Argentina players now facing possible bans. The incident marred the tournament's showpiece final, as players clashed on the pitch following the final whistle, prompting Fifa's Disciplinary Committee to appoint a prosecutor under its disciplinary code to examine the post-match conduct.

Nahuel Molina appeared to strike Spain captain Rodri, while Leandro Paredes was involved in a separate melee, allegedly grabbing Eric García by the throat and throwing Gavi to the ground; Paredes received a red card from referee Slavko Vincic, who had already sent off Enzo Fernández and booked three other Argentina players plus head coach Lionel Scaloni during the match. Separately, Fifa is also investigating Argentina's celebrations after their semi-final win over England, when players displayed a banner reading "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" that had been smuggled into the stadium, a potential breach of Fifa's ban on political statements.
