PTThe Belgian Football Federation (RBFA) expressed confusion over FIFA's decision to suspend Nigerian player Balogun after he received a red card in the previous match against Bosnia. According to FIFA's disciplinary code, a red card typically results in a suspension for the next game, but in this case, the federation claims the ruling did not follow standard procedures outlined in the code. The RBFA pointed out that Article 66.4 of the code explicitly states that a red card leads to an automatic suspension, which has been applied consistently throughout the tournament. They emphasized that this rule was reiterated in a specific circular sent to all participating federations ahead of the World Cup. The RBFA stated it would conduct a detailed review of the situation to uphold the principles of fair play. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump praised FIFA for correcting what he called a major injustice.
