Another scandalous incident has occurred at the 2026 World Cup.
“Elchi” reports with reference to Qol.az that this was recorded during the France-Senegal match of the 1st round.
A commentator for Argentina’s “DirectTV Sports” channel called France an “African country” during the live broadcast of the match between France and Senegal.
After the first half, the commentator said on air:
“The first half has ended in New Jersey, the score in the France-Senegal match is 0-0, the score is currently tied in the match between the African teams.”
It should be noted that earlier in the tournament, a serious commentary error made by Murad Əkrəm Çəmən during the Iran-New Zealand game caused a scandal. Specifically, for about 4 minutes, he presented Iran’s attacks as New Zealand’s and New Zealand’s attacks as Iran’s.
