U.S. President Donald Trump successfully lobbied FIFA to overturn a red card suspension for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play in the Round of 16 against Belgium. The move, following a personal call to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, has sparked international controversy, though the red card itself was also controversial at the time it was handed out.
In a statement on their website, FIFA said: "By operation of Article 27 FDC, the implementation of the automatic match suspension for USA player Folarin Balogun is suspended for a probationary period of one [1] year."
