The Latest: Belgians to challenge FIFA decision to let Folarin Balogun play in World Cup match
The Belgian football federation is demanding that FIFA explain why it allowed U.S. forward Folarin Balogun to play at the World Cup despite receiving a red card in his prior match. President Donald Trump called FIFA president Gianni Infantino after the game and urged FIFA to review the suspension, according to a person familiar with the call. The dispute unfolded alongside broader political coverage: Trump rang the ceremonial opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq on Monday and said reporters would not be asking questions about the World Cup red-card controversy. Trump is also scheduled to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa on Wednesday during a NATO summit in Turkey.
