Why did Argentina fans launch petition to replay 2026 FIFA World Cup final? Here's what happened

Argentina fans launched a Change.org petition demanding FIFA replay the 2026 FIFA World Cup final after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0.

The petition, created by Argentina supporter Gisela Sánchez, alleges refereeing decisions by Slovenian official Slavko Vinčić affected the outcome.

The petition had gained over 67,500 signatures as of reporting.

El Canciller, an Argentine news outlet, called the petition a 'fake news' story.

FIFA rules make a replay extremely unlikely; petitions on Change.org have no legal or regulatory authority.
