Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is likely to avoid punishment from the FA for using racially insensitive language during Argentina’s 2024 Copa America celebrations.
Fernandez filmed himself and his teammates singing a chant referencing the heritage of French footballers, which led to backlash and criticism from some of his teammates.
Despite the controversy, Chelsea did not impose any penalties on Fernandez.
The English FA is also expected to take no action, as the incident occurred while Fernandez was on international duty.
Therefore, any potential consequences now rest with Conmebol or FIFA, rather than the FA directly.
This decision by the FA has drawn comparisons to the situation involving Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur, who faced charges for making discriminatory comments.
While Bentancur was found guilty by the FA, the contrasting handling of Fernandez’s case raises questions about the consistency of disciplinary actions for similar offenses.
FIFA, having emphasized their zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination, now holds the responsibility to determine any further actions regarding Fernandez’s conduct.
