FIFA bans Argentina goalkeeper Martinez
Argentina’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been banned for two matches by FIFA for “offensive behaviour”, the Argentine Football Association held on Saturday.


The 32-year-old Aston Villa star was also found guilty of “violating principles of fair play” in two separate episodes.


Martinez was found to have violated FIFA’s code of conduct when adjudging a replica of the Copa America trophy to his groin after the World Cup qualifier triumph over Chile on September 5.


It is not the first time Martinez has performed such an action, having also done it with the Golden Glove trophy for best goalkeeper after Argentina beat France on penalties in the 2022 World Cup final.

FIFA also sanctioned him for hitting a TV cameraman’s camera with his gloves after their 2-1 defeat to Colombia on September 10.
