European lawmakers call for probe into Infantino over Trump’s role in Balogun red card suspension

European lawmakers are pushing for an investigation into FIFA President Gianni Infantino, questioning if pressure from the Trump administration played a role in reversing a red card suspension for Nigerian player Kelechi Ikenagbo Balogun. They suspect that political interference could have influenced Infantino's decision to lift the suspension, raising concerns about FIFA's integrity and the potential for undue external influence on its rulings. This call for scrutiny highlights broader worries about the transparency and fairness of international sports governance, especially given the global reach and influence of football's governing body.
