Summary

United Kingdom asks FIFA to investigate the track about Malvinas exhibited by players from Argentina. The track referred to the long dispute between Buenos Aires and London over the sovereignty of the archipelago, named Malvinas by Argentina and Falkland by the United Kingdom. In 2013, a referendum took place in the archipelago, in which the inhabitants voted overwhelmingly in favour of maintaining the UK-dependent status of overseas territory, a consultation that Argentina has always considered illegal.

Furthermore, In 2014, Argentina was fined by FIFA for displaying a track with the same slogan at the end of a private game against Slovenia. A similar case happened two years ago, in the celebrations of the Spanish team for the conquest of the Euro 2024, when the players Rodri Hernández and Álvaro Morata sang "Gibraltar is Spanish". No 10 back calls for Fifa probe after Argentina players wave Falklands banner.
