Doha: (RightNow) Argentina defeated England 2-1 in the FIFA World Cup semi-final, advancing to the final. The team now faces potential disciplinary action.

During their victory celebration, Argentine players displayed a political banner, possibly violating FIFA rules. The banner, written in Spanish, was left on the field.

FIFA stated that if the banner is deemed political, action could be taken against Argentina. FIFA rules prohibit political messages.

The issue has gained global attention due to past tensions between the two countries over the Falkland Islands dispute. Such incidents heighten political sensitivity.

It is noteworthy that in 2014, Argentina’s Football Association was fined 20,000 pounds for displaying a banner before a friendly match against Slovenia.
