FIFA has opened an investigation into alleged racist abuse aimed at popular streamer IShowSpeed during Argentina's 3-2 win over Cape Verde in the World Cup Round of 32. The incident took place on 3 July at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where IShowSpeed was livestreaming the match from the stands while wearing a Cape Verde kit.
A supporter reportedly directed discriminatory comments at the American content creator, whose videos of the exchange quickly gained attention online and prompted the world governing body to launch a probe. The match formed part of the knockout stages of the 2026 tournament hosted across North America.
