The Albiceleste is currently in first place in the World Cup 2026 standings, with 9 points and 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses in 3 games, and a streak of 4 consecutive wins. The president of the AFA, Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia, has launched a harsh statement against the Albiceleste fans who launched conspiracy theories after Spain's win in the World Cup 2026. In the statement, Tapia criticizes the fans for not apologizing for their actions, even after a month. "A month passed. A month of that final. A month of the lie". Tapia recalls that the Albiceleste fans should ask for forgiveness for their actions. "None of them came out to ask for forgiveness". The president of the AFA defends the Albiceleste players, despite their effort not obtaining the greatest reward. "While our players left everything on the field, some outside were doing exactly the opposite: sowing hatred, dividing, dirtying and seeking the image of a team that earned the respect of millions. To all of them: take responsibility". Tapia also criticizes the silence of the creators and disseminators of the conspiracies, after they were proven to be false. "And when one accuses, lies and publicly hurts those who left everything for this jersey, asking for forgiveness is not a favor. It's an obligation".
