"It’s our game, not theirs" – the controversy surrounding FIFA’s decision to allow US striker Folarin Balogun to play in the World Cup Round of 16 is intensifying.
Jürgen Klopp, the future head coach of the German national team, sharply criticized FIFA’s decision. "If Trump and Infantino actually made a deal regarding this, it’s madness. It calls everything into question. These two men, who understand nothing about football, shouldn't have anything to do with it at all. It’s our game, not theirs," Klopp stated on MagentaTV.
FIFA’s decision to waive the automatic one-match ban for Balogun—who had been sent off during the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina—sparked fierce criticism from athletes and politicians alike. The debate was fueled by media reports claiming that Donald Trump had personally appealed to FIFA President Gianni Infantino to reconsider the player's punishment.
Bernd Neuendorf, President of the German Football Association (DFB), demanded an explanation from FIFA and emphasized the need to dispel any impression of political interference in the sport. Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter stated that red cards should only be overturned in accordance with the rules and by independent bodies, not through the intervention of politicians.
UEFA reacted particularly strongly. The governing body declared that FIFA’s decision had "crossed a red line," noting that the tournament rules left no room for interpretation regarding the automatic suspension following a sending-off. UEFA warned that such a move undermines confidence in the competition and sets a dangerous precedent for world football. Against this backdrop, the Belgian Football Association is considering legal action against the decision, while the debate over political influence on the World Cup has already become one of the tournament's central issues.
