Factor.am — Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the Portugal national team and 41-year-old Al Nassr striker, has liked a video on social media accusing FIFA of corruption. The post claims that the football organization provided illicit support to the Argentina national team in reaching the final of the World Cup held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
This is not the first time FIFA has been at the center of such allegations, as fans had previously expressed their dissatisfaction regarding perceived bias toward Argentina. Critics have particularly focused on a Round of 16 match where a controversial refereeing decision led to the disallowance of a goal by the Egypt national team.
As a reminder, the 2026 World Cup final ended in a defeat for Argentina; they lost by a single goal in extra time to the Spain national team and were unable to retain the title they won four years ago. Meanwhile, the Portugal national team, featuring Ronaldo, was eliminated from the tournament in the Round of 16 after losing to the Spaniards.
