Argentina Faces Investigation Over Racist Chants During Copa America Celebrations
ai generated text
The French football association has announced plans to file a legal complaint against Argentina's national team over a racist song that was sung by some of their players after winning the Copa America. The song, which is believed to have originated from a chant dating back to the 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France, appears to target French players with African heritage. A video of the incident has been posted on social media, prompting widespread condemnation, including from France defender Wesley Fofana who described it as "uninhibited racism".
FIFA is aware of a video circulating on social media and the incident is being looked into.
FIFA strongly condemns any form of discrimination by anyone including players, fans and officials.
Given the seriousness of these shocking remarks, which are contrary to the values of sport and human rights, the FFF (French Football Federation) president has decided to contact its Argentinian counterpart and FIFA directly to file a legal complaint for racist and discriminatory remarks.
Chelsea Football Club finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour completely unacceptable.
