Trump admits lobbying FIFA over Balogun suspension

Published July 6, 2026 · Updated July 6, 2026 · The Guardian

Donald Trump has admitted making three calls to FIFA to reverse Balogun's suspension, allowing the striker to play against Belgium, while Jordan Henderson is injured as England advances to face Norway.

Former US President Donald Trump confirmed he made three calls to FIFA starting from Wednesday to lobby for the reversal of Balogun's suspension for a red card. The decision has left the Belgian FA and much of the football world 'astonished,' according to sources.

Meanwhile, Jordan Henderson has been ruled out of the tournament after England's last-16 victory, with the team now advancing to face Norway in the quarter-finals. Balogun's eligibility for the Belgium match comes despite the initial disciplinary action following his red card in the win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. piekny-pies.pl
