Belgium 'Astonished' by Balogun Ruling

The Royal Belgian Football Association expressed shock over FIFA's ruling to suspend Folarin Balogun's one-match red card suspension before the crucial round of 16 match against the United States. Belgium argues the decision contradicts FIFA's own Disciplinary Code regulations. forestarrow.help

According to the RBFA, Article 66.4 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly states that a red card automatically results in a one-match suspension, as has been the case for all previous red cards during this World Cup. The federation is now investigating "all potential options" to protect the principles of fair play.
