Argentina is set to take its case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after FIFA rejected the nation's appeals regarding an incident that occurred after Spain won the World Cup final. The altercation involved Argentina players Leandro Paredes, Nahuel Molina, and Thiago Almada, who appeared to be engaged in a fracas on the pitch following the final whistle.
The decision to escalate the matter to CAS was reported by BBC Sport journalist Mandeep Sanghera on November 7, 2026. Argentina's football federation hopes the independent tribunal will overturn FIFA's ruling and address any disciplinary sanctions stemming from the post-match confrontation.
