Millions sign petition to ban Argentina from World Cup

More than 23 million people from 170 countries have signed an online petition demanding that FIFA, the International Football Federation, ban the Argentina national team from permanently participating in the World Cup. The petition accuses FIFA and the referees of bias in favor of Argentina's star Lionel Messi and his team, questioning the purpose of other teams competing if the outcome is predetermined. It calls for Argentina's exclusion and urges opportunities for other national teams. The campaign successfully exceeded its initial target of 5 million signatures and is close to breaking the world record for the largest signed petition in history, which was over 24 million signatures in 1997. The petition organizers also expressed their frustration over FIFA's failure to listen to them, implying in passing that Argentina's recent loss to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final underscores their concerns.
