“Paris 2024 is working with stakeholders to understand the causes and identify appropriate actions,” the organisers warned.
The Argentinian Football Federation called for action after the defeat of their men’s national team.
Javier Mascherano’s side thought they had salvaged a 2-2 draw when Cristian Medina scored in the 16th minute of stoppage time, as the game dragged on beyond the 15 minutes of extra time signalled by the referees.
However, the game was marred by crowd disturbances, with objects thrown onto the pitch and spectators invading the pitch.
A firework was also thrown at the Argentina bench. Medina’s goal was disallowed for offside after a VAR review, and Morocco went on to secure the victory.
