Enzo Fernandez Avoids FA Punishment for Chant
News summary

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez will not face disciplinary action from the Football Association (FA) after being involved in a controversial chant deemed racist during Argentina's Copa America celebrations. The FA determined that the incident, which featured derogatory remarks about players from the French national team, falls under FIFA's jurisdiction since it occurred while Fernandez was on international duty. The video sparked outrage, leading some of Fernandez's Chelsea teammates, including Wesley Fofana, to criticize him, labeling the behavior as 'uninhibited racism.' Fernandez publicly apologized for his actions, and while he has escaped FA punishment, he may still face repercussions from FIFA. The incident has raised questions about the consistency of disciplinary actions in football, especially when compared to recent penalties imposed on other players like Tottenham's Rodrigo Bentancur. Investigations by Chelsea and FIFA are ongoing, with CONMEBOL also involved in the discussions regarding potential sanctions.
