The French Football Federation (FFF) today condemned the publication of "racist and hateful" messages on social media against France players after the World Cup final, saying it intends to "file a lawsuit".
"After the final of the World Cup, several players of the French national team were attacked by racist and hateful comments on social networks. The FFF condemns them and will file a lawsuit against their authors," the FFF statement reads.
France was defeated by Argentina in the final after penalties, and several players were the target of insults on social networks, such as Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Choumeni, who missed the penalties.
These messages of hate have already been condemned by many politicians, before the FFF announcement.
This morning, the Socialist Party called on the FFF to "break the silence".
"Full support for Koman, Chuameni, Kolo Muani, Loris. We are still waiting for the reaction of the FFF, which has already been silent about the racist insults that Mbappe suffered during Euro 2021," reads the announcement of the Socialist Party.
Minister for Gender Equality and Diversity Isabel Rome also expressed her anger.
"It is intolerable. I condemn these comments in the strongest possible terms," she wrote on Twitter.
