Trump Says He Spurred FIFA Review into Balogun Red Card The decision to review a recent red card issued to Nigerian footballer Leon Balogun has sparked controversy in international football.
The incident centers on a disputed tackle made by Balogun during a match between Nigeria and South Africa, which led to the referee's dismissal of him from the game.
Widespread criticism followed the referee's decision, but it was not until Donald Trump intervened that FIFA initiated a full investigation into the matter.
