Giuliani Defends Trump’s Push to Lift Folarin Balogun’s Suspension

Andrew Giuliani, head of the White House’s World Cup taskforce, defended Donald Trump’s lobbying of FIFA to reinstate US striker Folarin Balogun for the upcoming quarter‑final against Belgium. Trump said referee Raphael Claus, who showed Balogun a red card in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, was “a little bit suspect, if you check his past,” referring to a 2024 Brazilian senate inquiry into referee assignments that did not find any wrongdoing by Claus.

Balogun’s suspension came after the red card in the Group B match, and the White House அதிகசமத்தி has urged FIFA to lift the ban so he can play for the United States. hilogame.news
