(Reuters) - FIFA has reprimanded the Argentine FA and fined it 30,000 Swiss francs (19,537 pounds) after its national team players were pictured with a political banner before a friendly against Slovenia in June, world football's governing body said on Friday.
Some players stood behind the banner which read “Las Malvinas son argentinas” (The Falklands are Argentine) before the game in Buenos Aires, infringing rules on political action and team misconduct, FIFA said on its website (www.fifa.com).
