FIFA released a statement on Friday saying Argentina had breached the rules after winning the World Cup. Action is being taken against it.
Argentina won the World Cup after 36 years after defeating France in the final of the Football World Cup in Qatar. Lionel Messi won the much-awaited World Cup trophy. Argentina's goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez started celebrating in this joy.
FIFA said in a statement that the Argentina team had breached specific FIFA rules on the night of the final. According to article 11, offensive behavior and violation of the principles of fair play and according to article 12, unruly behavior of footballers and officials violated the rules of football.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee will take action against the Argentine Football Association for violating Articles 11 and 12 of FIFA and Article 44 of the Qatar World Cup, the statement added.
According to FIFA office sources, during the celebration after winning the World Cup, Argentine footballers entered the FIFA official interview area. The temporary wall that was built was damaged. Although they have a FIFA contract with them, many have spoken to the international media. Argentina's goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was at the center of the controversy.
He received the Golden Gloves award as he was selected as the best goalkeeper of the World Cup. In the post-match ceremony, he was seen making obscene gestures with the award.
When asked why he did this, he said, "I was being harassed by the French fans during the match." I cannot accept it in silence.'
In this regard, French footballer Patrick Vieira said, I think Argentina did not need to do this. It is always very difficult to control the decision on impulse. I didn't expect that from Martinez. It was very stupid.
After returning home with the World Cup, Argentina's celebrations went beyond measure. Messi's team bus got stuck. Finally, they were evacuated by helicopter. On the other hand, FIFA has taken disciplinary action against not only Argentina, but also Croatia, Serbia, Mexico and Ecuador.
