World Cup winners Argentina are to face disciplinary proceedings for "offensive behaviour" and "fair play violations" committed during the final in Qatar, Fifa has announced.

They have also been cited for potential "misconduct of players and officials".

And the Argentine FA has been charged with breaching media and marketing regulations during the tournament.

Argentina beat France on penalties in the final to be crowned world champions for the first time since 1986.

It is not clear which players or members of the country's coaching team have been charged with committing offences or what those offences actually are.
