FIFA probes Infantino letter to Argentina after World Cup
Gianni Infantino wrote a leaked letter to Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia after Argentina finished runners-up in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The letter congratulates Argentina on winning the silver medal and praises the team's professionalism, despite FIFA investigating the squad's behaviour after the final against Spain.
Infantino's tone in the letter is warm, contradicting the ongoing disciplinary case against Lionel Messi's side.
The letter was first leaked by Argentine media and confirmed by the Daily Mail.
Infantino commended the work of coach Lionel Scaloni, players, staff, and fans for contributing to the tournament's success.
