AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWorld Cup Shock in Seattle: FIFA has suspended the automatic one-match ban for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun after his red card vs Bosnia, clearing him to play Monday’s Round of 16 against Belgium. FIFA says it used Article 27 to pause the suspension for a one-year probation, meaning the red card stands but the ban won’t be served unless he’s disciplined again. Trump’s Call: Multiple reports say Donald Trump personally contacted FIFA president Gianni Infantino to request a review, and Trump celebrated the reversal as “reversing a great injustice.” Belgium Furious: Belgium’s federation and coach Rudi Garcia called the decision “astonishing” and “April Fools,” arguing it contradicts FIFA’s own automatic-suspension rules; Belgium says it will explore legal options. Match Build-Up: With Balogun back, the U.S. heads into the game at Lumen Field with a major boost, while Seattle ramps up fan zones, street closures and watch parties for the high-stakes clash.
