Reports circulating online claim that FIFA has terminated its partnership with popular streamer IShowSpeed and banned him from streaming World Cup matches following an incident during the Argentina vs. Algeria game.
According to the reports, IShowSpeed allegedly used offensive language while reacting live to Lionel Messi’s performance, during which the Argentine star reportedly scored a hat-trick.
The streamer is said to have directed insulting remarks at Messi during the broadcast.
The reports further claim that FIFA viewed the comments as a breach of the conduct standards expected of official content creators and streamers associated with its events.
However, FIFA has not officially confirmed these allegations, and the claims remain unverified at this time.
