French FA condemns racist abuse of players after World Cup final defeat

The French Football Federation ( FFF ) has condemned online racist abuse against its players and pledged to take action after they were targeted as the team lost Sunday's World Cup final to Argentina in Qatar.


The BBC reported on Monday that France striker Kingsley Coman and the midfielder

Aurelian Chuameni

After missing a penalty in the final, he was racially abused online.

Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez saved Koeman's shot from the penalty spot and Chuameni missed it as France failed to retain the title they won in 2018 .

" After the World Cup final, several players of the French national team suffered unacceptable racist and hateful comments on social networks, " the FFF said on Twitter.

"The FFF condemns them and will file a complaint against their authors. "

Earlier, Koeman's Bayern Munich club also issued a document supporting the 26 -year-old player, condemning racist remarks against him.
