Following the World Cup final, an altercation involving Argentina's Nahuel Molina and Spain's Rodri, which escalated with further involvement from Leandro Paredes and Spanish players, has raised questions about potential disciplinary action.

During the post-match melee, several Argentina players, including Paredes and Thiago Almada, were seen engaging aggressively with Spanish counterparts. Argentina's assistant coach, Roberto Ayala, was also reportedly involved. While Argentina's coach, Lionel Scaloni, downplayed the incidents, the Argentinian Football Association (AFA) has a history of disciplinary issues.

The AFA faced charges after the 2022 World Cup final for "offensive behaviour and violations of the principles of fair play." Emiliano Martinez received a two-game ban for offensive actions in subsequent qualifiers. Additionally, the AFA is facing a probable fine for a banner displayed after the England game, referencing the Falklands. Fifa could potentially ban players like Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso, and Lisandro Martínez for this.

The timeline for any Fifa decision remains unclear, as demonstrated by the lengthy process following the 2022 World Cup final.
