Fifa issues statement on IShowSpeed fan confrontation at Argentina World Cup match

Fifa World Cup Argentina

FIFA has launched an investigation into a confrontation involving streamer IShowSpeed and a fan at a World Cup match between Argentina and Cape Verde in Miami on July 3, 2026.
During a livestream, IShowSpeed, who is Black, was seemingly told by a fan in Spanish to "go cry to the zoo," an incident FIFA strongly condemns as racism and discrimination.
"FIFA strongly condemns racism, hate and discrimination in all forms. These actions have no place in football, at the FIFA World Cup, or anywhere in society," FIFA said in a statement on Tuesday.
"FIFA was made aware of an incident involving a supporter and #IShowSpeed at Miami Stadium during the Argentina vs Cabo Verde match on 3 July 2026 and immediately initiated an investigation.
"The FIFA World Cup is a celebration of unity, diversity and respect. It brings together people, cultures and communities from around the world, and anyone who acts in a manner that undermines these values is not welcome in our game."
