The petition after World Cup Final has become one of football’s biggest talking points after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time, fans have launched rival online campaigns, with one demanding a replay and another calling on FIFA to take action against Argentina.
Argentina supporters started one of the petitions after Spain’s victory on July 19, the campaign claims Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić made key mistakes during the match.
The petition criticises several decisions, including the second yellow card shown to Enzo Fernández in extra time, supporters argue that the referee’s decisions affected the outcome of the final.
Many disappointed fans have signed the petition. They are asking FIFA to order a replay of the match.
Another Petition Targets Argentina
At the same time, another online campaign has gained global attention.
The petition, titled “Argentina Out,” calls on FIFA to ban Argentina from future World Cups. Supporters claim the team showed poor sportsmanship during the tournament. They also argue that Argentina received favourable refereeing decisions.
The campaign has attracted millions of signatures from football fans in many countries. It has become one of the biggest football petitions in recent years.
Can FIFA Replay the Match?
The answer is no.
Online petitions do not have legal or sporting power under FIFA rules. Fans can express their opinions through these campaigns, but FIFA does not change match results because of public petitions.
FIFA can only review a match if there is clear evidence that its rules were broken. Refereeing decisions alone do not lead to a replay.
The same rule applies to the petition calling for Argentina to be banned. FIFA can only discipline a team after following its own disciplinary process.
Fans Keep the Debate Alive
The World Cup final has continued to dominate discussions across social media. Fans have shared videos of disputed moments and argued over the referee’s performance.
Spanish supporters say their team deserved the victory after Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in extra time. Argentina fans believe key decisions changed the match.
The disagreement has turned into one of football’s biggest online debates of 2026.
Petitions Are Unlikely to Change History
Both petitions continue to attract attention online. However, they are unlikely to affect FIFA’s decision.
Spain remains the 2026 FIFA World Cup champion. Argentina remains the tournament runner-up.
For now, the petitions reflect the passion of football fans rather than a path to changing the final result.
