Unprecedented protests at World Cup final
The FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey saw an unprecedented protest against U.S. President Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Organizers distributed red cards equipped with QR codes to the fans, inviting them to hold them up during the trophy presentation as a symbol of their rejection of the policies associated with the event. The initiative addressed issues of political corruption and abuse of power, with some fans viewing it as an opportunity to express their disapproval through a technology similar to Video Assistant Review (VAR). This comes amid widespread controversy over the decision to lift the suspension of American forward Folarin Balogun despite his receiving a red card, a decision that sparked division among fans and drew widespread criticism following a phone call between Trump and Infantino.
