TL;DR Summary

Belgium's RBFA is seeking a clear FIFA explanation over why Balogun was allowed to play against Belgium in the World Cup after a suspended one‑game ban, asking that the issue be on the FIFA Council's agenda on Oct 15 and signaling it won't back Infantino's re‑election. Balogun started for the United States in the 4‑1 loss to Belgium, who were later eliminated by Spain, while FIFA offered only a brief justification under article 27; the RBFA's stance underscores calls for greater transparency and governance reforms at FIFA amid broader scrutiny of its operations and plans like the Fifa Forward Enterprise stake sales.
