UEFA chief Ceferin skipped World Cup final after FIFA lifted Balogun's suspension

UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin did not attend Sunday's World Cup final in East Rutherford. According to The Times, his boycott was prompted by FIFA's decision to overturn the suspension of US player Folarin Balogun, who had received a red card. Čeferin reportedly viewed the move as unacceptable and stayed away in protest.
