FIFA has reprimanded the Argentine FA and fined it 30,000 Swiss francs (€24,600) after its national team players were pictured with a political banner before a friendly against Slovenia in June.
Some players stood behind the banner which read “Las Malvinas son Argentinas” (The Falklands are Argentine) before the game in Buenos Aires, infringing rules on political action and team misconduct, FIFA said.
It was the second time that FIFA has fined Argentina’s football authority this month.
A 300,000 Swiss-franc fine was imposed for failing to bring Argentina players to pre-match news conferences at the World Cup in Brazil.
