The International Federation of Football (FIFA) defended Brazilian referee Rafael Claus after widespread controversy arose over his decision to send off American forward Folarin Balogun during the USA-Bosnia match in the World Cup. They pointed out that the referee enjoys a prestigious status and extensive experience, confirming that the red card decision was made after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review. In response to criticism from former U.S. President Donald Trump, FIFA clarified that Claus is one of the top referees in the world and that he maintained high standards of professionalism and integrity. Balogun was later allowed to participate in the Round of 16 match against Belgium, where he was chosen as a starter by the coach.
