Norwegian FA, FIFA, Donald Trump and Folarin Balogun
Thursday
Norwegian FA president Lise Klaveness said her federation plans to discuss filing a FIFA complaint over Donald Trump’s role in Folarin Balogun’s suspended World Cup ban. She called the case serious, worrying and damaging to due process.
Trump confirmed he asked Gianni Infantino to review Balogun’s red-card suspension, while FIFA says its disciplinary bodies are independent. Norway argues the case raises concerns over political influence and the basic rules of football governance.
