Argentine FA Denies US Detention of President and Treasurer After World Cup Final

The Argentine Football Association has dismissed media claims that president Claudio Tapia and treasurer Pablo Toviggino were detained and questioned by US authorities after their World Cup final loss to Spain. AFA confirmed that a US district court has issued a summons for a third-party associate linked to the federation. That individual must appear before a grand jury to provide documents and communications related to international contracts. Domestically, the AFA is under investigation for alleged money laundering and tax evasion. Tensions have grown between Tapia’s leadership and President Javier Milei amid disputes over planned privatization of football clubs.
