The President of the United States, Donald Trump, confirmed that FIFA received a request from the White House to review Folarin Balogun's red card.

The U.S. national team's leader will be able to play in the upcoming matches, as the suspension has been lifted.

At the meeting in the White House, Trump revealed: "Yes, I saw that episode. It was just two athletes who collided with each other. The referee made a decision that nobody could believe.”

Balogun is the best or one of our best players, and the referee gave this player a red card.

I don't know what that red card means... but yes, I asked the FIFA organization to review this incident,” the U.S. leader confidently stated.
