Trump Call To FIFA? Controversy Erupts

The biggest controversy of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has exploded just hours before the United States' Round of 16 clash against Belgium. U.S. striker Folarin Balogun has been cleared to play after FIFA sensationally overturned his automatic suspension following a red card, a decision that came after U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly urged FIFA President Gianni Infantino to review the incident. The move has triggered accusations of political interference and questions over the integrity of the tournament and FIFA.
