A letter reportedly written by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to the Argentine Football Association (AFA) following Argentina’s defeat in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final has surfaced online, drawing widespread attention.

The correspondence, which was first reported by Argentine media and later circulated by international outlets, congratulated Argentina on finishing as runners-up despite their 1-0 extra-time defeat to Spain in the final played at the New York New Jersey Stadium.

In the message addressed to AFA President Claudio Tapia, Infantino commended the Argentine team for its impressive campaign and described its contribution as one of the highlights of the tournament. He noted that the World Cup would be remembered for thrilling matches, emerging talents, established stars and the remarkable atmosphere created by fans across the competition.

The FIFA president also praised head coach Lionel Scaloni, the players, backroom staff and supporters, saying their commitment, passion and professionalism played a major role in Argentina’s successful run to the final. He expressed confidence that the national team has a bright future and wished them greater achievements in upcoming competitions.

However, the leaked letter has generated debate because it emerged while FIFA is reportedly reviewing incidents involving members of the Argentine squad after the World Cup final. Several players and officials were accused of engaging in confrontations during the aftermath of the match, prompting an investigation by football’s governing body.

Spain claimed the 2026 FIFA World Cup title after Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in extra time, denying Argentina the chance to retain the trophy they won in 2022.
