🚨 Will he play or not? Belgium challenge FIFA decision over Balogun

🚨 Will he play or not? Belgium challenge FIFA decision over Balogun After learning through the press of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension hanging over American player Balogun, the Belgian federation has announced that it will challenge the decision. In a statement, published on Monday afternoon , the RBFA explains that FIFA has not responded to its requests.  As its only reply, FIFA sent a letter to the RBFA arguing that the request actually constituted an appeal, that a judge had already been appointed, and that the Belgian federation had only a few hours to submit it. No further information was provided. According to FIFA’s own regulations, for an appeal to be admissible, the reasoned decision must first have been notified to the appellant. The RBFA was only asking for legitimate explanations; according to the Belgians, it was FIFA that turned it into an appeal and immediately made sure it would be inadmissible. Belgium maintains that, at the match coordination meeting, FIFA deliberately removed from its presentation the item concerning the automatic suspension of players, an issue that had appeared in the previous meetings before the prior four matches. The RBFA asked both in writing and verbally for the reasons behind the change, without receiving any answer. As of today, the RBFA still has not received any decision or explanation from FIFA on this matter, and it has therefore announced that it will challenge the player’s eligibility for the next match.
