FIFA has announced an investigation into the chants sung by Argentina players, including Chelsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez, 23, after they won the Copa America with a 1-0 final victory over Colombia.

The Group B Olympic meeting ended 2-2 after two-time gold medallists Argentina fought back from two goals down to snatch a point with a header from Cristian Medina in the 16th minute of added time.
