FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”

The Official Trailer for THE TERMINAL LIST starring @prattprattpratt dropped on this day in 2022.
The goal was always to make a show for those who went downrange to Afghanistan, Iraq, and other hot spots around the globe, so that when they sat down on their couches and put their feet up, they would know that we put in our best efforts to make a show for them – a show that, although fiction, was grounded in the realities of modern combat and explored the mindset of a modern day warrior.
THE TERMINAL LIST: DARK WOLF starring Taylor Kitsch dropped on August 27, 2024, and brought viewers the Ben Edwards origin story - a conspiracy thriller that also introduced characters from TRUE BELIEVER.
On October 21, 2026, Chris Pratt is back James Reece in THE TERMINAL LIST SEASON 2 based on TRUE BELIEVER.
More in the months ahead.
