(Reuters) -FIFA is investigating a video circulating on social media that shows members of the Argentina national team singing about France's players in a way that the French Football Federation (FFF) said was "racist and discriminatory".

The FFF said on Monday it would file a complaint to the global soccer governing body over the video, in which Argentina players sing about France striker Kylian Mbappe's African descent.
