Belgium to challenge FIFA's Folarin Balogun decision as furious RBFA issues update on shocking red card decision
Goal | 06.07.2026 22:27
In a formal statement, the RBFA statement read: "FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction. However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup."
