Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen FIFA has suspended Argentine player Leandro Paredes for ten international matches for his assault following the lost World Cup final against Spain (0–1). The world soccer governing body announced this on Friday. In addition, the midfielder must pay a fine of $90,000 (77,000 euros). In addition to Paredes, his teammates Nahuel Molina (seven games and $90,000) and Thiago Almada (one game and $30,000) were handed suspensions and fines.
Three-match suspension for assistant coach
Argentine assistantcoachRoberto Ayala must sit out three matches and pay $30,000. The Spaniard Gavi (one game and $30,000) was also penalized. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) imposed an additional fine totaling $321,000 (275,000 euros) for violations during several matches.
In addition, for Argentina’s next two home games, only half of the maximum spectator capacity will be permitted for each match. The enforcement of part of the sanction has been suspended, subject to a probationary period. The penalty against the federation was justified by the team’s misconduct, discrimination and racist insults by fans, as well as the use of a sporting event for non-sporting demonstrations and violations of order and security at matches.
Incidents in the Final and Semifinal
The penalties are based on a report by the appointed Disciplinary and Ethics Prosecutor regarding the incidents of July 19 at the World Cup final in East Rutherford. After the final whistle, violent altercations broke out, primarily instigated by the Argentine side. The parties now have ten days to request a written explanation. If the request is granted, the explanation would also be published.
Physical Altercation
Paredes lost his temper and committed an act of violence after the game ended. During the scuffle, he grabbed Spain’s Gavi by his jersey, struck him in the face with his hand, and pushed him to the ground. Prior to that, he had shoved Eric Garcia. Gavi was the only Spanish player investigated. Argentina’s assistant coach Ayala had violently confronted Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo, which caused widespread outrage. Olmo subsequently refused to accept Ayala’s apology.
Prohibited Political Messages
The FIFA investigation also focused on prohibited political messages at sporting events. After their 2-1 semifinal victory over England, Argentine players displayed a banner on the field reading “Las Malvinas son Argentinas” (“The Falkland Islands are Argentine”). They were alluding to the 1982 armed conflict between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the archipelago in the South Atlantic.
