Inside the White House push to get Folarin Balogun back on the field
The White House, led by Andrew Giuliani, lobbied FIFA to overturn Folarin Balogun's one-match suspension after a red card during the U.S. team's World Cup match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. FIFA's Disciplinary Committee suspended the punishment, allowing Balogun to play in the crucial match against Belgium. President Donald Trump praised FIFA for reversing the decision, while UEFA and the Royal Belgian Football Association are considering counteraction.
