This just crazy…. ⚽ #worldcorrupt 2026 Another proof that money and power will buy just about anything for them.
FIFA will not consider the appeal filed by the Belgian association against the decision to overturn Folarin Balogun’s suspension.
Balogun received a red card in the match between the US and Bosnia & Herzegovina, which meant the American would miss the game against Belgium due to an automatic suspension. However, the FIFA disciplinary committee decided to convert the penalty into a suspended sentence. President Trump said he had asked FIFA President Infantino for a review of the suspension.
This led to a storm of criticism and an official Belgian protest. UEFA stated in an unusually fierce declaration that “a red line has been crossed.”
