The White House reached out to FIFA President Gianni Infantino to ask for a review of Folarin Balogun's red card issued during the FIFA World Cup, as reported by a source familiar with the situation.

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.

According to Tuko, eight players, including significant players from South Africa and Qatar, are facing suspensions in the final group matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026 due to yellow and red card infractions.

Paraguay's Almiron has been suspended for one game following a red card he received for covering his mouth during a match. Additionally, FIFA has revoked the World Cup credentials of journalist Jorge Chipi Vera after he publicly criticized Almiron's red card on air, according to Al Jazeera.
