The Royal Belgian Football Association will appeal FIFA's decision to overturn the suspension of American forward Folarin Balogun ahead of their World Cup Round of 16 match, according to The Athletic. The Belgians have sent an official letter to world football's governing body requesting an appeal.
It was announced yesterday that FIFA's Disciplinary Committee had rescinded Balogun's suspension, making him eligible to participate in the upcoming World Cup Round of 16 clash against Belgium. He had received a red card in the Round of 16 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina (2-0) for a foul on defender Tarik Muharemovic. The American struck his opponent's leg from behind with his studs.
The match between the USA and Belgium is scheduled for tonight. The winner will face either Spain or Portugal in the quarterfinals.
