Mauro Icardi hit with Argentina driving ban until 2099 | OneFootball

Mauro Icardi has been barred from driving in Argentina until 2099 after authorities found he was behind the wheel with an expired licence.

The decision followed a video shared on social media showing Icardi at the wheel while his partner, Eugenia ‘La China’ Suárez, was inside the car. According to Superdeporte, the clip shows Suárez hanging much of her body out of the window as the vehicle moved, prompting widespread criticism online.

After reviewing the case, authorities in Buenos Aires province issued a preventive disqualification for the forward. He must also undergo an evaluation before he can obtain a valid licence again.

The length of the measure is striking, with the end date set at 2099. If it stands, the striker would not legally drive in Argentina again until the age of 105.

The episode has put Icardi and Suárez back under the spotlight, this time over road safety and compliance with traffic rules.
