Trump Calls FIFA Over Red Card | Adelaide News

Trump’s unexpected call to FIFA president Gianni Infantino over a controversial red card for US player Folarin Balogun has ignited a firestorm—claiming he just wanted a review since “two athletes just collided,” and Balogun “didn’t do anything wrong.” FIFA confirmed the call but stressed its judicial process remains independent, sparking outrage from UEFA who called it a “red line” breach. The Belgian FA even tried to block Balogun’s participation in their upcoming match, only to be shut down by FIFA for lacking jurisdiction. Meanwhile, France is reportedly appealing a yellow card to Michael Olise, revealing a pattern where politics and sports collide as everyone scrambles to influence outcomes.
