FIFA changed rules due to Donald Trump’s call! Big upset in USA team, Belgium accused of power game
Donald Trump FIFA Phone Call: US President Donald Trump had to call for a player in the FIFA World Cup. After this phone call, FIFA has lifted the one-match ban on American player Folarin Balogun. The Belgian football team expressed strong objection to the lifting of the ban on the American player. This is because Belgium and USA are going to clash in the Round of 16 of FIFA World Cup 2026.
If American player Folarin had been banned, he would have been out of the upcoming match against Belgium. However, now FIFA has lifted this ban, after which he will now be ready to play against Belgium. It is being told that this change has been made after Donald Trump’s phone call. On this, Belgium has accused FIFA of bowing before Donald Trump for this decision.
Conversation between Donald Trump and FIFA President
According to reports, the decision to lift the ban on Folarin Balogun has been taken immediately after a phone conversation between US President Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. It is being told that Donald Trump had asked the FIFA President to reconsider his decision during a phone conversation. After this conversation, FIFA did not cancel the red card of Folarin Bolagun, but lifted the ban imposed on him.

If Balogun commits any further violations during this period, the decision to lift the suspension will be revoked and he will face punishment. FIFA’s judicial bodies have the power to lift disciplinary sanctions in whole or in part.
