Trump admits intervening in World Cup red card decision

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Donald Trump has admitted to calling FIFA President Gianni Infantino to successfully push for the overturn of a red card suspension for US forward Folarin Balogun ahead of a World Cup knockout match against Belgium. The unprecedented decision marks the first time since 1962 that FIFA has allowed a player to feature in a match they would have been suspended for following a red card. Belgium's FA has lodged an unsuccessful appeal, while UEFA has released a statement condemning the decision, with concerns mounting about political interference in the sport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
