La FIFA étend mondialement la suspension de Prestianni avant la Coupe du monde

La FIFA a étendu à l'échelle mondiale la suspension de six matchs infligée à Gianluca Prestianni pour comportement homophobe. Cette décision remet en question la participation de l'ailier de Benfica aux premiers matchs de l'Argentine lors de la Coupe du monde 2026. Prestianni avait initialement été suspendu par l'UEFA à la suite d'un incident survenu en février.

La FIFA a annoncé cette extension le 6 mai, en invoquant l'article 70 de son Code disciplinaire. La sanction couvre désormais les matchs internationaux officiels en plus des rencontres de clubs de l'UEFA. Elle ne s'applique pas aux matchs de championnat nationaux ni aux rencontres amicales.
