President Donald Trump expressed gratitude to FIFA for suspending the red card given to USA's Folarin Balogun, allowing him to participate in the upcoming last-16 match against Belgium in the World Cup.

USA forward Folarin Balogun is eligible to participate in the World Cup last-16 match against Belgium after FIFA suspended the red card he received in his last game, according to Vanguard Sports.

FIFA has announced the suspension of Folarin Balogun's match ban for one year, permitting the player to remain eligible for selection. This decision aligns with Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, which allows for the suspension of certain sanctions during a specified period. The ruling enables Balogun to continue participating in matches while the ban is on hold.

Folarin Balogun's private coach has disclosed details about the rigorous training and preparation that contributed to the US striker's notable performances during the FIFA World Cup. This insight highlights the dedication and effort behind Balogun's success on the international stage.
