# Soccer: Belgium won’t support Gianni Infantino’s bid for re-election as FIFA president unless it receives a satisfactory explanation over the handling of American striker Folarin Balogun’s red card during the World Cup. FIFA suspended the automatic red card, apparently after the president of co-host America, Donald Trump, spoke to Infantino, allowing Balogun to play in the last-16 match against Belgium. The country says it’s essential that such cases are handled transparently and rigorously in everyone’s interest.
