Argentina has solidified its position as the world's No. 1 team in the FIFA men's rankings, following their recent victory in the Copa America. However, celebrations took a sour turn when a racist chant targeting the No. 2-ranked France team sparked outrage and repercussions.
The offensive chant, which mocked the African heritage of some France players, was sung by Argentina players and captured on social media. This led to FIFA launching an investigation into the incident and English club Chelsea initiating disciplinary action against one of its players involved in the chant.
