Summary
FIFA's appeal committee has denied Belgium's appeal regarding Folarin Balogun's red card, ruling that the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) has no standing to appeal the decision. This means Balogun, a USMNT star, is cleared to play against Belgium. The situation has escalated to involve President Trump, who reportedly called FIFA president Gianni Infantino regarding the matter.
