Wake of FIFA's Folarin Balogun decision, member of British Parliament asks FIFA to apply the same ruling to Jarell Quansah
A decision over Folarin Balogun’s red card is triggering new calls for consistency in FIFA disciplinary rulings, including pressure aimed at Jarell Quansah. After U.S. President Donald Trump contacted FIFA president Gianni Infantino following Balogun’s World Cup red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina, FIFA announced Sunday that Balogun’s mandatory one-match ban was suspended and he could play Belgium on Monday night. The action came days after Trump’s intervention, drawing disbelief from Belgium’s federation and surprise from Balogun’s USMNT teammates. In England’s 3-2 win over the Three Lions, Jarell Quansah was sent off Sunday for a straight red after video review led referee Alireza Faghani to consult pitch-side monitors. Labour MP Noah Law wrote to Infantino asking Quansah’s one-match ban be reviewed, citing the Balogun case and urging a delay until after the World Cup. France is reportedly appealing Michael Olise’s yellow card situation in parallel.
