Folarin Balogun, a striker for the United States men’s national team, has been cleared to play against Belgium in the World Cup Round of 16. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee lifted his suspension, which was imposed after he received a straight red card during the USMNT’s 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1.
Background
Balogun was sent off in the 64th minute of the match after a VAR review determined that he had committed a serious foul play by stepping on the ankle of Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic.
