Argentina’s victory over England fuels Falkland sovereignty protest on the pitch

In a tightly contested semi‑final, Argentina edged out England 2-1, securing a spot in the final. In the closing minutes, the team’s celebration turned political as a banner proclaiming Argentine ownership of the Falkland Islands was unfurled. The act revived the long‑standing dispute dating back to the 1982 war and may trigger disciplinary action from the governing body for breaching the tournament’s code of conduct.
