Argentina – Cape Verde: FIFA investigates after racist remarks against IShowSpeed

On July 3, 2026, during the Round of 32 World Cup match between Argentina and Cape Verde at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, American streamer IShowSpeed (Darren Watkins Jr.) was racially insulted by an Argentine supporter, who told him to 'go cry at the zoo' and 'go home'. FIFA has launched an official investigation and strongly condemned racism. This incident adds to a series of racist controversies during the tournament, including comments by Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla against Kylian Mbappé.
