FIFA has launched an investigation into allegations of racist abuse directed at American social media influencer IShowSpeed during a World Cup match on 3 July at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
The incident occurred during Argentina's 3-2 victory over Cape Verde. During a livestream broadcast by the influencer, a supporter told him to "go cry at the zoo", prompting FIFA to condemn the remarks. Reports indicate the alleged offender was an Argentine fan.
The governing body has not yet detailed the scope of the investigation or any potential sanctions. The 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has seen heightened scrutiny over fan conduct and anti-discrimination measures at stadiums.
