The French soccer federation has taken a stand against what it deems as 'racist and discriminatory remarks' made by Argentina players following the Copa America final. The incident occurred after Argentina secured a 1-0 victory over Colombia on Sunday. A video shared on Instagram by Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez captured the players seemingly chanting derogatory remarks about French players with African heritage.
Notably, similar chants were heard prior to the World Cup final between France and Argentina two years ago, which Argentina ultimately won. The chants, reportedly also echoed by some Argentina fans, specifically target France players of African descent who hold French citizenship.
