FIFA has decided that Gianluca Prestianni's suspension for homophobic insults towards Vinícius Júnior will have effect worldwide, including in official international matches.
Initially sentenced by UEFA to a six-match suspension, the new decision makes the punishment more severe, as it could force the player to miss Argentina's first two matches at the 2026 World Cup, if included in the final list.
The situation seriously questions his presence in the tournament, as coach Lionel Scaloni could choose fully available players.
For a young and not yet consolidated footballer, this decision could have major consequences for his international career.
