The possibility of Argentina's national team being excluded from the list of participants in the 2026 World Cup has emerged.
Idman.Biz reports that a number of high-ranking officials of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) are under suspicion in connection with a corruption scandal.
The investigation names AFA President Claudio Tapia, his confidant Pablo Toviggino, and Luciano Nakis, Deputy Head of the Finance Department, as figures in the case.
The court is currently investigating the origin of their 10-hectare property located in the city of Pilar. It is reported that the area has a helicopter pad, a horse farm, and more than 50 retro cars.
It is noted that if court proceedings begin as a result of the investigation and it is concluded that the state has interfered in the activities of the football federation, FIFA may consider excluding the Argentina national team from the 2026 World Cup. If this scenario becomes a reality, a decision could be made that will have serious repercussions for world football.
