Folarin Balogun suspension drama not over yet as Belgium gets last-minute appeal with ‘red line’ crossed

Belgian soccer officials on Monday were granted the right to appeal the ruling that resulted in USMNT’s ace Folarin Balogun’s ban being overturned — before UEFA blasted FIFA, saying the organization had “crossed a red line. ” Bosses of the Belgian federation wrote to FIFA chiefs, saying they were “astonished” by the dramatic decision, and the right to appeal has now been given the green light, anonymous sources told the Athletic. It now means a member of the FIFA appeals committee – who is not part of UEFA or CONCACAF – will now hear Belgium’s case.
