President Donald Trump on Sunday cheered FIFA’s decision to reverse a one-game suspension of U.S Men’s National Team striker Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play against Belgium in Monday’s World Cup match.<\/p>\n

Balogun received a controversial red card in the U.S.’s 2-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

That normally results in an immediate one-game suspension without appeal. But the international soccer governing body reversed the suspension on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.<\/p>\n

FIFA, in a statement on Sunday, said: “By operation of Article 27 FDC, the implementation of the automatic match suspension for USA player Folarin Balogun is suspended for a probationary period of one (1) year.”<\/p>\n

Balogun is a U.S. citizen by birth who grew up in the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n

Trump last week lost a case at the Supreme Court challenging birthright citizenship, with a majority of justices ruling that individuals born in the U.S. are U.S. citizens. Trump last year issued an executive order that sought to restrict birthright citizenship sharply.<\/p>\n
