Jeff Stelling has called for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to resign immediately after football's governing body overturned Folarin Balogun's World Cup suspension, a decision that has sparked fierce debate over fairness, transparency, and the role of political influence in the sport.
The controversy intensified after US President Donald Trump confirmed he had personally called Infantino to ask for a review of Balogun's red card. Although FIFA insists its independent judicial bodies made the final decision without interference, the timing of the reprieve has fuelled growing Gianni Infantino to resign and drawn criticism from across the football world.
