FIFA fines Argentina's football association $321,000 over Falklands World Cup protest

FIFA's Disciplinary Committee announced on Friday that the Argentinian Football Association has been fined a total of $321,000 for several breaches of its code, including the use of a sporting event for demonstrations after players and coaching staff unfurled a banner reading "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" following Argentina's 2-1 World Cup victory over England. Argentina was also ordered to play its next two home matches with a reduced 50% capacity crowd, with one match of that sanction suspended, and $100,000 of the fine must be invested back into a plan to combat discrimination.
