Belgium 'Astonished' by FIFA Balogun Ruling

Belgium's football association is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended US striker Folarin Balogun eligible for their round of 16 match on Monday.

The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) released a statement expressing shock at FIFA's ruling to allow Balogun to play despite a red card suspension. The RBFA argues FIFA is contradicting its own rules, specifically Articles 66.4 and 10.5 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and World Cup regulations, which state that red cards automatically result in a one-match suspension. truewildgame.online

The Belgian association is now investigating all potential options to protect the rights of participating teams and ensure fair play in the tournament.
