FIFA lifts Balogun red-card ban – US striker available for Belgium clash at 2026 World Cup

FIFA announced on Sunday the suspension of Folarin Balogun's one-match ban, which had been triggered by a red card in the USA's round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2026 World Cup. The US striker is now free to play in the round of 16 against Belgium. President Donald Trump quickly thanked FIFA for reversing the decision.
