Mamdani stays mum on Balogun controversy

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani avoided commenting on the reversal of U.S. men's national team striker Folarin Balogun's red card suspension by sharing a quote from José Mourinho. FIFA overturned the suspension after President Donald Trump requested a review, sparking concerns about political influence. Belgium's soccer federation challenged the reversal, but FIFA dismissed the appeal.
