On August 21, FIFA's Disciplinary Committee announced penalties following a serious conflict after the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina held in New York on July 19. Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes received a 10-match suspension for violent conduct, while Spanish youngster Gavi was suspended for 1 match. Other Argentine players penalized include Nahuel Molina (7 matches), Thiago Almada (1 match), and assistant coach Roberto Ayala (3 matches). Additionally, the Argentine Football Association was fined approximately 250,000 euros because several Argentine players displayed a political banner reading 'The Malvinas Islands belong to Argentina' after the semi-final against England.
