FIFA stripped commentator Jorge Vera of his World Cup credentials after an on-air, expletive-laden rant during Paraguay's 1-0 victory over Turkey, according to Yahoo Sports. Vera lost his composure after Paraguay midfielder Miguel Almiron was sent off following a VAR check at the end of the first half for covering his mouth while speaking to Turkey's Mert Muldur, with Vera insulting FIFA president Gianni Infantino and referee Ivan Barton. Vera later apologised, said on X on Monday that his accreditation had been cancelled, and said the sanction bars him from any World Cup coverage for Paraguayan channels ABC Cardinal and ABC TV; FIFA has not commented, while Reuters cited sources saying FIFA deemed his language unacceptable.
