The FFF will also contact the Argentine Football Association (AFA) about live video posted on social media by Fernandez as Argentina celebrated winning the Copa America, after beating Colombia 1-0 in the final on Sunday.

A statement from the FFF, external said that president Philippe Diallo "condemns in the strongest terms the unacceptable and discriminatory remarks that were made against the players of the French team".
