Player bans: Midfielder Leandro Paredes received the longest punishment—10-match ban plus a $90,000 fine—while Nahuel Molina was banned for seven matches (also fined $90,000); Thiago Almada and coach Roberto Ayala also received bans and fines, with Spain’s Gavi punished for his role. Argentina military procurement snag: Argentina will retire its French-built Super Étendard aircraft by end-2026 after attempts to restore them failed, with the key issue traced to UK export restrictions affecting Martin-Baker ejection-seat pyrotechnic cartridges. Local business & community: Saga Cruises announced a 73-night South America voyage including a stop in Stanley, with Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins set for two onboard performances.
