The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is reportedly investigating the financial operations of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) in the United States over allegations of fraud and money laundering.

According to reports from Argentina and the United States, federal investigators are examining financial transactions linked to the AFA's commercial activities in the U.S., including sponsorship agreements and international payments handled through a private company.

The reported investigation is said to be focusing on transactions worth more than US$300 million as authorities seek to determine whether any U.S. financial laws were violated.

Media reports indicate that the probe, which allegedly began in 2025, involves FBI agents and federal prosecutors specialising in financial crimes. Investigators are also reported to be interviewing individuals connected to the association's business operations in the United States.

No criminal charges have been announced, and the investigation does not imply wrongdoing by the AFA or any individual. The Argentine Football Association has not publicly commented on the reported investigation.

The reported probe is unrelated to Argentina's performances on the pitch at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the defending champions have continued their campaign.

If confirmed, the investigation would mark one of the most significant legal examinations of the AFA's international commercial operations in recent years.
