UEFA says decision by FIFA to let US forward play at World Cup is ‘incomprehensible’

UEFA and the Belgian soccer federation have condemned FIFA's decision to allow US forward Folarin Balogun to play in the World Cup despite a previous red card. UEFA described the ruling as incomprehensible and unjustifiable, stating FIFA crossed a red line regarding rule certainty. This controversy follows a call from President Trump to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Belgium challenged the ruling just eleven hours before the Seattle kickoff, emphasizing the need for fair and transparent competition.
