Chelsea, FIFA looking into disciplinary action after Argentina players seen on video making racist chants about French players with African heritage
Chelsea has begun disciplinary action after midfielder Enzo Fernandez was involved in a video where members of Argentina ’s Copa America-winning squad made racist chants about French players with African heritage.
Fernandez said he was “truly sorry” and Chelsea said discriminatory behaviour was “completely unacceptable.” The same chants – by some Argentina fans – emerged before the team beat France in the World Cup final in 2022. Fernandez became the most expensive player in British soccer history after joining Chelsea from Benfica for £106.7-million in 2023.
