The ban for Paredes is effectively a one-year expulsion from the Argentina team, as the FIFA calendar for national team schedules includes 10 games through June 2027.
All of those games could be friendlies, with no competitive games currently scheduled.
Spain’s Gavi was also banned for one game, which is a Nations League match against England at Wembley on September 26.
The Argentina federation can appeal the longer sanctions and fines to FIFA, and likely after, to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
In 2014, Suarez was banned from all football for four months, including for his new club Barcelona, and eight more competition games for Uruguay for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini in a World Cup group-stage game in Brazil.
The on-field clashes at last month’s final — which were charged by FIFA as assault cases — came after Argentina lost a testy final to Spain where it was mostly outplayed and barely created a scoring chance.
Spain forward Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the game in the second period of extra time, after Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez was sent off.
