Argentinian player Enzo Fernandez can’t even apologize. Fernandez chanted racist slogans against France after winning the Copa America title and was also seen singing a racist song. France has taken legal action against Fernandez in this incident.
A complaint of ‘racism’ has been filed against him. Fernandez did the same after winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup. At that time he sang the same song. Several players from Argentina were in tune with him. At that time, France complained to Argentina and FIFA. But no one knows what happened next. This time France took legal action.
A live video of the Argentina team’s bass celebration posted on social media featured the racist chant that surrounded France. The lyrics were like, ‘Their French nationality in the passport, listen, spread the word, they play in France, but they all….’ – Fernandez stopped the live immediately after that.
Argentina fans made that song about the 2022 World Cup final opponent France team. Kylian Mbappe was the target of that song. That song has no similarity with this year’s Kopa. However, everyone is surprised by a case of Fernandez. Although the Argentinian midfielder apologized, ‘That video, that moment, those words don’t reflect my faith or character. I’m really sorry.’
But that didn’t work either. In a statement on Wednesday, the French federation said it would take legal action against him. Earlier they complained to Argentina and FIFA.
‘Given the seriousness of these shocking comments, which are against the values of sport and human rights, the FFF President has lodged a legal complaint with FIFA and the Argentine Football Federation for racist and discriminatory comments.’
“The president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, condemned in the strongest terms the unacceptable racist and discriminatory comments made against the players of the France team as part of a song sung by the players and supporters of the Argentina team.”
Meanwhile, FIFA did not immediately comment on the legal action. But FIFA president Gianni Infantino said, ‘Football and the 211 national federations must show zero tolerance against racism.
