Argentina could face disciplinary action from FIFA after some players celebrated their dramatic World Cup semi-final victory over England with a banner declaring "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" ("The Falkland Islands are Argentine").

The incident occurred following Argentina's 2-1 win over England, a result that secured the South American giants a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. However, celebrations quickly sparked controversy as images emerged of players posing with the politically charged message.

The sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas, remains a highly sensitive issue between Argentina and the United Kingdom. FIFA regulations prohibit political, religious, or ideological messages during official tournaments and celebrations linked to matches.

FIFA is reportedly reviewing the incident to determine whether the banner violated its disciplinary code. Possible consequences could range from warnings and fines to sanctions against individuals or the national federation, depending on the findings of the investigation.
