FBI investigates Argentine Football Association for fraud and more

Off-the-field controversy for Argentina

Argentina’s soccer team had a tough summer, losing the 2026 World Cup final to Spain. Now, the FBI is reportedly investigating its governing body, the Argentine Football Association (AFA), for possible fraud and money laundering in the U.S.

CBS Sports reported in July 2026 that investigators are questioning approximately $300 million of the association’s funds that moved through U.S. financial institutions and a Florida-based company called TourProdEnter LLC, which handles the team’s commercial agreements with overseas sponsors.
