FIFA Lifts Red Card for US Balogun

The FIFA announced on Sunday that the American striker Folarin Balogun will be available for the match against Belgium in the early hours of Monday to Tuesday, which is an eighth-final of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The match will take place at 02.00 Spanish peninsular time (Dazn) in Seattle's stadium.

According to The New York Times, US President Donald Trump intervened in this decision by requesting FIFA President Gianni Infantino to remove the sanction from the forward. This development ensures Balogun's participation in the crucial knockout match for the United States. tbzikra.com
