Ahead of the 2026 North America World Cup semi-final, former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy made racist remarks about the French national team. In a column, Rajoy targeted the French team by saying "they are achieving this success without being French."
The remarks immediately drew sharp criticism and were described as "absolutely unacceptable" by French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez. Nuñez emphasized that France is a country that respects diversity and strives to build a society where everyone can find their place.
Although only three players in the French squad of 26 were born outside of France, the rest were all born in France. The fact that many players are of immigrant origin was interpreted as the former prime minister not considering these athletes as true French citizens.
