The Brazilian Football Confederation condemned the criticism directed at international referee Rafael Closs following his decision to send off U.S. striker Folarin Balogun during the 2026 World Cup match, affirming that he holds a high reputation for integrity and competence. The federation expressed its rejection of any attempts to question the referee's integrity, indicating that his decision was natural and in accordance with the rules.
