Enzo Fernandez’s Chelsea teammate, Wesley Fofana, has publicly condemned the Argentina squad for their behavior after the Copa America victory over Colombia. In a video posted on social media, Fernandez was allegedly heard leading a chant directed at the France team, prompting strong reactions from the French Football Federation and others.
Chelsea Football Club has initiated an investigation into the video posted by Enzo Fernandez on his Instagram account. The French Football Federation has accused the content of being racist, leading to swift action by the club to address the situation.
Wesley Fofana, known for his outspokenness, reposted the video on his social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, with a statement denouncing the incident. His words, “Football in 2024: uninhibited racism,” effectively captured his strong disapproval.
The French Football Federation has announced its intention to file a legal complaint regarding the alleged racially offensive and discriminatory remarks made by the Argentina players. President Philippe Diallo has taken a proactive stance, challenging both the FIFA president and the Argentina Football Association boss to address these concerning allegations.
In their official statement, the FFF strongly condemned the unacceptable racist and discriminatory remarks directed at the French team by the Argentina players and supporters. The gravity of the situation has prompted the FFF president to directly confront the Argentinian counterpart and FIFA, culminating in the decision to pursue a legal complaint for insulting racist and discriminatory remarks.
The statement read: “The president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, condemns in the strongest terms the unacceptable racist and discriminatory remarks which were made against the players of the French team in the context of a song sung by players and supporters of the Argentina team after its victory in the Copa America and broadcast in a video on social media.
“Faced with the seriousness of these shocking remarks, contrary to the values of sport and human rights, the president of the FFF decided to directly challenge his Argentinian counterpart and FIFA, and to file a legal complaint for insulting remarks of a racist and discriminatory nature.”
This incident has reignited discussions surrounding respectful behavior in sports and prompted further scrutiny of the actions of the Argentina team and their fans. The broader football community, including FIFA, has been called upon to respond to these serious allegations.
The fallout from this controversy is likely to have far-reaching implications, and it remains to be seen how the involved parties will address the situation in the coming days and weeks. Sky Sports News has reached out to FIFA for their perspective on this developing story.
