Overview
- FIFA’s disciplinary committee made UEFA’s suspension global, applying the six-match ban across all competitions.
- The sanction follows a February Champions League playoff incident in which Prestianni allegedly used a homophobic insult toward Real Madrid’s Vinícius Jr.
- UEFA placed three of the six games on probation and Prestianni already missed the Real Madrid return leg, leaving two matches still to serve outside Europe.
- If selected by Argentina, he is expected to sit out group games against Algeria on June 17 and Austria on June 22.
- FIFA can extend a continental body’s punishments worldwide at that body’s request, which can move a club-issued ban onto national-team fixtures.
