- 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."
