Argentina’s Olympic football team were given a hostile reception by fans in their opening match against Morocco, after a recent racism scandal following their senior side’s Copa America triumph.

The players were met with boos and whistles when they entered the field in Saint-Etienne, while the Argentinian national anthem was also jeered. The vast majority of the 35,000-strong crowd, most of them supporting Morocco, continued to whistle at Argentina’s players during the game.
