"The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to extend the six-match ban imposed by UEFA on SL Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni to have worldwide effect."
"The sanction has been extended in accordance with article 70 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code."
"If selected for the World Cup, he would be unavailable for selection for Argentina's opening Group J clash with Algeria on June 16 and the meeting with Austria six days later."
FIFA has extended Gianluca Prestianni's six-game suspension for homophobic conduct to a global level, affecting his availability for Argentina's World Cup matches. Initially suspended by UEFA for allegedly using a slur against Vinicius Junior, Prestianni denied the accusations. The ban includes three suspended games, with one already served. As a result, he will miss Argentina's opening games against Algeria and Austria in Group J. The suspension applies to UEFA competitions and international matches but not domestic leagues or friendlies.
