The Argentina Football Association (AFA) plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after FIFA rejected its appeals against sanctions imposed following the World Cup final. Midfielder Leandro Paredes received a 10-match ban for his involvement in post-match altercations, while the AFA was fined over $321,000 for various breaches of FIFA's disciplinary code.

The sanctions stemmed from incidents during and after the World Cup final against Spain, including a controversial banner displayed by players. The AFA seeks clarification on FIFA's decisions before proceeding with its appeal.
