U.S. soccer star Folarin Balogun is now eligible to compete in the upcoming match against Belgium. FIFA has reportedly suspended the red card ban that previously prevented the striker from playing.
This decision by FIFA follows reports that President Donald Trump contacted the international soccer organization regarding the suspension. Additionally, a Trump administration official reportedly sought a review of Balogun's red card.
The White House reportedly called FIFA's Infantino to discuss the matter. Balogun's availability is a significant development for the U.S. team. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
