Affichage de messages politiques au Mondial-2026 : La FIFA va-t-elle sanctionner l’Argentine et épargner l’Égypte ?
Like France in 2022, Argentina will play in their second consecutive World Cup final. The Albiceleste defeated England's Three Lions 2-1 on Wednesday evening in the semi-finals of the competition.
Trailing 1-0, Lionel Scaloni's men completely overturned the deficit against England in the dying moments of the match. Once again, Lionel Messi delivered a masterful performance, providing two assists for Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez.
The Disciplinary Code provides for sanctions for players, federations and associations...
At the end of the match, two Argentinian players, Giovani Lo Celso and Lisandro Martinez, unfurled a banner that read: "The Falklands are Argentinian." A message that FIFA could consider political.
Indeed, the world football governing body prohibits the display of political, ideological or religious messages during the competitions it organizes.
FIFA's Disciplinary Code provides for sanctions against players, federations, and associations for displays contrary to its principles. It generally opens an investigation to assess the context before determining any potential sanctions.
It should be remembered that England and Argentina have been disputing the Falkland Islands since 1982.
Egyptian coach Hossam Hassan entered the pitch waving a Palestinian flag after the Egypt-Australia match.
Argentina could therefore be sanctioned by FIFA following its politically charged message on Wednesday. But what about Egypt?
After the Pharaohs' victory against Australia in the round of 32 In the final of the same World Cup 2026, coach Hossam Hassan entered the pitch waving a Palestinian flag.
He dedicated this victory to the Egyptian and Palestinian people. This gesture undoubtedly has political implications, but for the time being, FIFA has not announced any disciplinary action against the Pharaohs.
We are waiting to see if it will sanction Argentina and spare Egypt.
