- The White House defended Argentina's action, with Andrew Giuliani of the White House Fifa task force citing First Amendment rights in the United States.
- Downing Street has supported calls for FIFA to investigate the incident, reiterating that the Falkland Islands are British territory and the UK's commitment to them will not waver.
- The Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory, have been subject to a sovereignty dispute with Argentina, with islanders voting overwhelmingly in 2013 to remain British.
