Dear @FIFAcom,
Could you please clarify how the display of the โLas Malvinas Son Argentinasโ banner after the World Cup semi-final complies with your own regulations?
The FIFA World Cup Regulations, Article 12 (Equipment) state:
โThe display of political, religious, or personal messages or slogans in any language or form by players and officials on their playing or team kits, equipmentโฆ or body is prohibited.โ
In addition, Law 4.5 of the IFAB Laws of the Game (The Playersโ Equipment) states:
โEquipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images.โ It further explains that political statements relating to governments, political acts or national issues are not permitted.
The sovereignty of the Falkland Islands/Malvinas is an ongoing political dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina. On that basis, many would reasonably view the banner as a political statement.
If these regulations are to retain credibility, surely they must be enforced consistently, regardless of the nation involved.
I would appreciate FIFAโs clarification.

China refuses to outlaw animal cruelty, year after year. China never fails to disappoint and disgust, it's their m.o.
๐จ VILE DOG ABUSER LIVING IN GLASGOW ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
Share his face far and wide!
This man is Craig Nicholls, originally from Dover but living in Glasgow and he also has links to many other areas across Kent.
Back in May 2025, he was caught on camera carrying out a sickening attack on his black Labrador, Juke.
The footage shows him violently slamming the dog against a wall, then hitting and kicking him so hard that Juke was thrown against a door frame, spun around, and crashed his jaw heavily onto the floor.
Police Scotland were alerted and passed the case to the Scottish SPCA.
When Inspector Cannon attended, watched the footage and met Juke, it was clear the dog was absolutely terrified of Nicholls โ he had suffered terrible physical harm and deep mental trauma.
When officers tried to take Juke to safety, Nicholls became aggressive. He later chose not to appeal the official notice ordering him to hand the dog over, so Juke was signed fully to the Scottish SPCA.
With time, care and patience, he has now happily settled into a loving forever home.
Inspector Cannon said: โIt was heartbreaking to see how terrified this poor dog was. No animal should ever have to endure such brutality.
Removing him was the only way to stop more harm being done.
He was fined ยฃ470 and banned from owning, keeping or working with any animals for 4 years, until July 2030.
