Belgium shocked as FIFA lifts suspension of U.S. striker Folarin Balogun

American striker Folarin Balogun had been serving a one‑game suspension. FIFA officials have now reversed that ban. The reversal makes Balogun eligible for the upcoming World Cup match. The United States will face Belgium on Monday night. Belgium’s football federation said it was shocked by the decision. The change comes just before kickoff of the group‑stage encounter. Balogun’s availability could influence the United States’ attacking options. Both teams will prepare for the match under the updated roster.
