The Argentine Football Association (AFA) is reportedly under investigation by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over alleged financial transactions involving hundreds of millions of dollars processed through the U.S. banking system.
According to reports from Argentine newspaper La Nación, the probe is examining whether funds linked to the AFA’s commercial activities in the United States were improperly routed through U.S.-based entities, potentially violating federal laws relating to fraud and money laundering.
The reported investigation centres on more than $300 million in financial transactions allegedly connected to the AFA and a Florida-based company identified as TourProdEnter LLC. Authorities are said to be reviewing sponsorship agreements, commercial rights and other revenue streams linked to the association’s operations.
While several international media outlets have reported on the development, the FBI has not publicly confirmed the existence of the investigation. Likewise, no criminal charges have been filed against the AFA or any of its officials.
The Argentine Football Association has also not issued an official statement addressing the reports at the time of publication.
The development comes as football governing bodies around the world continue to face increased scrutiny over financial transparency and the management of commercial partnerships.
Until U.S. authorities provide an official update, the reported investigation remains unconfirmed by the FBI, and no findings of wrongdoing have been established.
