Uefa says 'integrity of game at stake' after Fifa's decision to overturn US star's red card ban
Monday, July 6, 2026
Fifa overturned a suspension for Folarin Balogun following a red card he received during World Cup play. Uefa issued a statement characterizing the decision as "unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable" and stated that the integrity of the game was at stake. Balogun, who plays for England, had received the red card during World Cup competition. Fifa's appeals body determined to lift the suspension that would have kept him from playing in his team's next match.
