Following Argentina's Copa America victory, Enzo Fernandez posted a picture of an alleged racist song online.
Enzo Fernandez, a midfielder for Chile and Argentina, is the subject of a prejudice stir after posting images of him and his national team colleagues singing an alleged racist tune after their Copa America triumph on Sunday.
Wesley Fofana, Fernandez's partner, and the French Football Federation have confirmed they will file a legitimate problem.
Chelsea has also confirmed that the 23-year-old has been the subject of an interior administrative hearing. What other events have said in the context of the discussion and what has been said?
Enzo Fernandez posted what exactly?
Fernandez and his foreign teammates were reportedly singing a racist song about the European team during their celebrations after Argentina won the Copa America title on Sunday evening.
The offensive chant includes a line about" sleeping with trans people," making it seem as though French people of African and Caribbean history are not true French immigrants.
The video immediately received a lot of negative feedback on social media.
What did the French national team and Wesley Fofana, Fernandez ' Chelsea partner, say?
Fernandez's Stamford Bridge partner Wesley Fofana, who has one cover for France, was swift to denounce the chorus, posting a picture of the film along with the comment:" Football in 2024: unrestrained racism".
Fofana and his French Chelsea friends Malo Gusto and Axel Disasi even appear the have snubbed Fernandez on Instagram.
The French Football Federation confirmed in a statement that they would record a legal issue because they claimed the video contained "racially insulting and unfair remarks."

The whole statement read," The French Football Federation's president, Philippe Diallo, punishes in the most severe words the racist and discriminatory remarks made against the French team's people in a song that was sung by Argentina team players and supporters after its Copa America success and was broadcast in a video on social media.
The FFF president decided to directly challenge his Brazilian equivalent and Fifa in light of these disturbing remarks and file a lawsuit for racist and discriminatory remarks.
