FIFA has officially charged Argentina for waving a politically charged flag at the World Cup after defeating England in the semi-final.
In 2014, Fifa fined Argentina £20,000 for a similar banner regarding the Falklands that players held up before a friendly against Slovenia.
Argentina has shown no remorse for waving the flag.
After the game, for instance, the country’s prime minister, Javier Milei, defended his players, adding that Argentina will take the Falklands back through diplomatic means.
“In accordance with the Fifa Disciplinary Code, the respondents have now been provided with the opportunity to present their position, following which a decision will be issued by the Fifa Disciplinary Committee in due course,” Fifa said.
