MEPs call for investigation into possible Trump influence on FIFA's decision on Balogun

A group of Members of the European Parliament has written a letter to the 27 football associations of the European Union, urging them to demand that FIFA investigate whether pressure from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump influenced the decision to lift a one-match suspension on United States striker Folarin Balogun. According to Euronews, the document, obtained by the outlet, suggests that the FIFA ruling may have been swayed by political pressure. The MEPs are calling on EU football bodies to jointly request a full inquiry into how the decision regarding Balogun's disciplinary case was reached.
