Trump called FIFA's Infantino over Balogun red card — ban was lifted

Donald Trump admitted calling FIFA president Gianni Infantino during the World Cup to ask him to review a red card given to US striker Folarin Balogun. After Trump's intervention, Balogun's automatic one-match ban was suspended for 12 months, allowing him to keep playing. Norway's football federation said it reacted with "strong concern" and is considering a formal complaint.
