Folarin Balogun’s Suspension Reversed by FIFA, Trump Responds

FIFA reversed a one-game suspension of U.S. Men's National Team striker Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play in the upcoming match against Belgium. The suspension followed a red card received during the U.S. 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina. FIFA's statement specified that the automatic match suspension is suspended for a probationary period of one year under Article 27 FDC. This decision has sparked political responses, including from President Trump, who expressed gratitude towards FIFA on social media.
