FIFA is an international football governing body responsible for organizing major tournaments, including the 2026 World Cup hosted in the US, Canada, and Mexico. It has faced controversy over its decision to overturn a red card suspension for American forward Folarin Balogun, with multiple sources alleging that U.S. President Donald Trump personally intervened by calling FIFA president Gianni Infantino; however, FIFA maintained that an independent disciplinary committee made the decision independently.
