Midfielder for Argentina and Chelsea Enzo Fernandez apologized on his social networks for the racist chants against the players of the French team.
During the celebration of the 2024 Copa America victory, in which Argentina beat Colombia (1-0), the Argentine players sang a racist chant against the players of the French team. The video was broadcast live on social media by Argentina and Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, and the episode was filmed. After that, Chelsea players Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusteau and Axel Disasi unfollowed Fernandez on social media.
— I sincerely apologize for the video posted on my social networks during the celebration of the national team. The song contains offensive language – there is no justification for such remarks. I speak out against racism in all its forms and apologize for what I did. It happened under the influence of the euphoria caused by the victory in the America’s Cup. This video, this moment, these words do not reflect my beliefs or my character. “I am truly sorry,” Fernandez wrote on social networks.
Earlier, the French Football Federation (FFF) had decided to file a complaint with the International Football Federation (FIFA), and Chelsea had announced its intention to conduct an investigation.
