Falklands poster row: FIFA to probe Messi’s Argentina over ‘Malvinas’ banner

FIFA is reviewing a banner displayed by Argentina players after their World Cup semi-final win. Players held a “Las Malvinas son Argentinas” message during celebrations following their victory. This gesture has led to a disciplinary review by FIFA’s independent committee. Argentina’s football association faced a similar fine in 2014 for the same banner. The team now prepares for the World Cup final against Spain.
