FIFA has confirmed it is launching an investigation into the
actions of Argentina players, following their win over France in the 2022 World
Cup final.
The global governing body announced it has “opened proceedings”
against Lionel Messi and co for potentially violating several clauses of its
disciplinary code during and after the match.
This includes clauses for fairplay and player misconduct.
“The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings
against the Argentinian Football Association due to potential breaches of
articles 11 (Offensive behaviour and violations of the principles of fair play)
and 12 (Misconduct of players and officials) of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, as
well as of article 44 of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Regulations in
conjunction with the Media and Marketing Regulations for the FIFA World Cup
Qatar 2022, during the Argentina v. France FIFA World Cup final,” the statement
read.
After the South Americans won their third ever title, scenes
of the squad’s celebrations quickly went viral, with images of Martinez winning
the Golden Glove award becoming particularly notorious.
