Argentina players sing racist song during Copa America celebration

The French Football Federation (FFF) will request clarification from the federation. Argentina Football (AFA) and FIFA about the song sung by the Argentine players. The situation occurred during the celebration following the Copa America final, when Enzo Fernandez was broadcasting live on social media and cut the video at the moment when the champion team started singing a song known for its racist and homophobic lyrics.

Enzo’s live broadcast showed the Argentine athletes on the bus celebrating their recent win over Colombia, in a cheerful tone. At one point, the players sing a song that became popular during the 2022 World Cup, and when the midfielder realized the song, he ended the broadcast.

They play for France.
But they are from Angola.
I’m glad they’re running away.

Their mother is Nigerian.
Their father is Cambodian.
But in the passport: French,” he sings the song.

Information about the French Federation’s decision comes from France Presse and states that the institution will take further action after contacting FIFA. French Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera also denounced the incident on social media and called on the world body to take action:

– Pathetic. And it is even more unacceptable behavior if it is repeated. FIFA, what reaction? – Amelia commented.
