OFFICIAL/ Unprecedented! FIFA lifts red card, player will play in quarterfinals

FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has made an unprecedented decision by overturning the red card of USA striker Folarin Balogun, who was penalized in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina after a VAR review.

Through an official announcement issued on Sunday, world football's governing body announced that the one-match suspension for the 25-year-old has been suspended for a probationary period of one year, based on Article 27 of the Disciplinary Code.

This decision came directly from FIFA without the need for an appeal by the US federation, a development that has surprised international sports opinion.

Thanks to this decision, the striker who has scored three goals in this tournament will be fully ready for the next challenge.

He is expected to take the field in the important round of 16 match against Belgium.
