The incidents involved an American social media influencer who was live-streaming the match. FIFA said it became aware of the alleged abuse and immediately started the probe.

“The Fifa World Cup is a celebration of unity, diversity and respect. The alleged abuse occurred days after France forward Kylian Mbappe criticised a Paraguayan senator for racist remarks following France's last-16 win over Paraguay. The French football federation said it plans to file criminal charges over those remarks.”
