According to The Sun, Argentina's announcement of a special commemorative day after defeating England in the World Cup semi-final has sparked controversy.
The anniversary is set for July 15, which is also the first World Cup victory against England for Argentina since Maradona's "Hand of God" goal helped the team defeat England 2-1 in 1986.
The Argentine Football Association stated: "This date was chosen to commemorate Albisester's great and historic victory over England in the 2026 World Cup semi-final."
"Led by Lionel Scaloni, the team was down by one goal, but goals from Ezequiel Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez turned the tide, sending the whole country into a frenzy, with tens of thousands of people taking to the streets to celebrate."
After losing to Spain in the World Cup final, Argentine players clashed with Spanish players, drawing criticism.
Chaos erupted at Metropolitan Life Stadium after Spain's victory, with Kevin Paredes, Molina, Thiago Almada, and assistant coach Roberto Ayala all getting involved.
Paredes first clashed with Spanish star Eric Garcia, and then grabbed him by the neck.
According to FIFA's disciplinary code, disciplinary and ethics prosecutors have the power to impose global bans.
However, Argentina will not participate in the 2030 World Cup qualifiers because they are co-hosts, so the ban may not take effect until the first match of the tournament.
