Leandro Paredes has been handed a 10-game ban with Fifa handing out a series of heavy punishments to Argentina following the disgraceful brawl at the conclusion of the World Cup 2026 final against Spain and the display of a Falklands banner following victory over England.
The Argentina midfielder was seen throwing his opponent Gavi to the ground in a shocking post-match brawl after Spain emerged victorious in the World Cup final.
Paredes' team-mate Nahuel Molina, has been hit with a seven-game after sparking the chaotic melee by striking Spain captain Rodri.
Paredes then grabbed Eric Garcia by the throat and hurled Gavi to the ground. While Argentina coach Roberto Ayala, who was also involved in the fracas, has been banned for three games.
