The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has slammed FIFA over its decision to suspend the automatic one-match ban for USA striker Folarin Balogun at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Balogun was shown a straight red card during USA’s Round of 32 clash against Bosnia and Herzegovina after stepping on the ankle of Bosnia center-back Tarik Muharemovic. However, many football analysts noted that Balogun’s challenge was accidental.
