Fifa accuses Uefa of hypocrisy over Balogun red card

Fifa has accused Uefa of hypocrisy regarding the lifting of striker Folarin Balogun's suspension, arguing that overturning red cards is a standard disciplinary measure that has previously gone unchallenged.

In a statement ahead of the USA's last-16 match against Belgium, Fifa Chair Mohammad Al Kamali argued that overturning red cards is a "common disciplinary measure" in Uefa-affiliated leagues. He noted that this practice has "never raised concerns about crossing any ‘red line’," directly addressing Uefa's previous silence on the issue. sportnewz.click
