Over 100,000 Sign Petition Urging FIFA to Replay 2026 World Cup Final
Over 100,000 supporters have signed an online petition urging FIFA to replay the 2026 World Cup final after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time. The petition alleges controversial refereeing decisions by Slovenian official Slavko Vincic affected the outcome and calls for a transparent investigation. Spain won with a goal by Ferran Torres, while Argentina finished with 10 men after a red card. FIFA and officials have not indicated any officiating errors warranting a rematch, and no precedent exists for replaying a World Cup final.
