The French Football Federation has filed a legal complaint against Argentina after midfielder Enzo Fernández posted a video following the country's triumph in the Copa América showing the team repeating offensive chants about French players of African descent, per ESPN.
The chants were first heard in 2022 from Argentina supporters before the country faced France in the World Cup final.
"Given the seriousness of these shocking remarks, which are contrary to the values of sport and human rights, the FFF president has decided to contact its Argentinian counterpart and FIFA directly to file a legal complaint for racist and discriminatory remarks," the FFF said in a statement.
