Folarin Balogun received a direct red card on July 1, 2026, for fouling Tarik Muharemovic in the United States' match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. FIFA suspended the resulting one-game ban, prompting a successful appeal by the Royal Belgian Football Association that will be heard by an unaffiliated adjudicator. President Trump contacted FIFA President Gianni Infantino regarding the incident, and Balogun remains available for the United States' round-of-16 match against Belgium.
