🚨 BREAKING: European Lawmakers Push for Probe into FIFA President Gianni Infantino

A group of Members of the European Parliament is rallying support for an official investigation into FIFA President Gianni Infantino following the controversial decision to overturn Folarin Balogun’s automatic World Cup suspension after his red card.

The move comes amid allegations that the decision was influenced by intervention from U.S. President Donald Trump.

The lawmakers are expected to urge UEFA’s member associations to request that FIFA’s Ethics Committee investigate whether political pressure played a role in the ruling. They also want a wider review of FIFA’s commitment to political neutrality, including scrutiny of the governing body’s Peace Prize initiative linked to Trump.
