Belgium has been granted the right to appeal against FIFAโs decision to suspend the one-game ban handed to USMNT star Folarin Balogun, less than 24 hours before the teamโs round of 16 match vs. the United States, per The Athletic.
The Belgian federation said it was โastonishedโ by FIFAโs decision to suspend the ban for a period of one year and the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) responded that the move was in โdirect contradictionโ of the competition regulations and said it is exploring โall potential options.โ
