Wesley Fofana recently shared a video on social media featuring a song sung by his Chelsea teammate Enzo Fernandez and the rest of the Argentina squad. The caption accompanying the video read, "Football in 2024: uninhibited racism." The clip captured the Argentine team celebrating their victory at the Copa America tournament over the weekend. However, upon closer inspection, the song they were singing has been deemed as "racist and discriminatory" by the French Football Federation.
In response to the offensive song, the FFF released a statement condemning the actions of the Argentine players and supporters. The president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, expressed his strong disapproval and announced that they will be taking legal action against the Argentine Football Association and FIFA for their discriminatory remarks towards the French team.
The video, which was originally posted on Instagram by Fernandez, has since been removed. Fofana, who can be seen in the video, has also come under scrutiny and Chelsea has launched their own investigation into the matter. This incident has caused quite a stir, especially since it comes on the heels of Argentina defeating France in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The controversial song, directed at the French players, claims that they are all from Angola and have Nigerian mothers and Cameroonian fathers. It is a shameful display of racism and has no place in sports or society. Fernandez, who played a role in recording the video, is currently taking some time off after Argentina's win at the Copa America before returning to Chelsea for pre-season training.
This incident has sparked a lot of outrage and has prompted many to speak out against racism in football. Chelsea fans can rest assured that their club is taking this matter seriously and is committed to promoting equality and diversity. Let's hope that actions will be taken to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
