FIFA is facing a wave of formal appeals from France and Britain after its decision to suspend a one‑match ban for United States striker Folarin Balogun at the reported request of US President Donald Trump.
On Monday, the French Football Federation lodged an official appeal asking FIFA to rescind a tournament booking for playmaker Michael Olise, while British lawmaker Noah Law submitted a formal letter urging the governing body to delay a ban for England defender Jarell Quansah.
