FIFA, Mohammad al Kamali and Folarin Balogun
Saturday before England faced Norway
FIFA disciplinary chair Mohammad al Kamali refused to answer BBC questions about the decision that allowed Folarin Balogun to avoid suspension after his red card. The silence came after England’s Jarell Quansah received a two-match ban for a similar offence.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan asked whether FIFA president Gianni Infantino influenced the decision and why Balogun and Quansah were treated differently. Al Kamali gave no response, keeping pressure on FIFA’s disciplinary transparency.
