FIFA has rejected Belgium’s appeal over the eligibility of U.S. men’s national team striker Folarin Balogun, meaning he will be available to play in the round of 16 at Lumen Field in Seattle.
The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) accused FIFA of not playing to its own rules after it suspended the one-match ban issused to the striker after his red card in the World Cup round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
