Infantino apologizes to Scaloni for World Cup trophy glove mix-up

• FIFA apologized to Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni for making him wear gloves to handle the World Cup trophy during the 2026 World Cup draw.
• FIFA President Gianni Infantino issued the apology, stating he "didn't know" about the incident, and later invited Scaloni to lift the trophy without gloves.
• The mix-up occurred because organizers at the draw seemingly failed to recognize the World Cup-winning coach.
• Argentina will commence their 2026 World Cup campaign on June 16 against Algeria, followed by matches against Austria and Jordan.

Why It Matters: FIFA's apology shows the importance of respecting football legends.
