The French Football Federation has filed a legal complaint against the Argentine Football Federation following Argentina's Copa America win. The complaint centers around a racist and discriminatory chant sung by Argentina players, which targeted the French national team and specific players, including Kylian Mbappé. The chant, which originated during the 2022 World Cup, mocked the origins of the French players. The incident has sparked outrage, particularly among French players at Chelsea, including Enzo Fernandez, who was seen participating in the chant during a live Instagram session. The French FA is taking the matter to the FIFA courts.
