The Norwegian Football Federation will file a formal ethics complaint with FIFA over Balogun’s suspension reversal. They argue the case undermined the game’s integrity and set a dangerous precedent. The controversy centers on a reported call from U.S. President Donald Trump to FIFA President Gianni Infantino to request a review. Balogun’s automatic one-match ban was suspended, and the U.S. subsequently lost 4-1 to Belgium in the Round of 16. Infantino has defended the independence of the disciplinary process, while FIFA faces scrutiny over handling of the Balogun case and other World Cup decisions. The affair has intensified questions about political interference at FIFA, with ongoing ethics reviews and, in the broader fallout, Balogun returning to the squad for a knockout game that ended in a heavy USA defeat.
