UEFA has accused FIFA of crossing a “red line” following its decision to suspend the one-match ban imposed on United States striker Folarin Balogun.
The European football governing body questioned the decision, claiming it undermines the integrity and independence of disciplinary processes after reports that U.S. President Donald Trump lobbied for the suspension.
The development has sparked fresh debate over the influence of politics in football governance ahead of the United States’ World Cup Round of 16 clash.
