Argentina have confirmed they will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after FIFA upheld a 10-match ban and a $321,000 fine imposed on midfielder Leandro Paredes for his involvement in chaotic scenes during the World Cup final.
The disciplinary action stems from incidents that occurred during the FIFA World Cup 2026 final between Spain and Argentina. FIFA's disciplinary committee sanctioned Paredes for his role in the post-match disorder.
The Argentine Football Association announced the appeal on Saturday, November 7, 2026, seeking to overturn or reduce the punishment. Paredes, a key player for Argentina, will miss significant international fixtures if the ban stands.
