FIFA lifts Pulisic suspension after Trump call
U.S. President Donald Trump has called on FIFA (the International Football Federation) to reconsider the red card received by American forward Folarin Balogun during the Qatar 2026 match, celebrating the cancellation of his suspension after a phone call with Gianni Infantino, the FIFA President. FIFA initially decided to suspend Balogun for one match due to the straight red card he received in a game against Bosnia, but the federation later announced that the penalty would be suspended for a year, allowing him to participate in the round of 16 match against Belgium. The criticized decision by FIFA was met with strong opposition, especially from the Belgian Football Federation, as Balogun is a key player for the team, having scored three goals in the tournament.
