FIFA chief Infantino says Trump call and Balogun suspension reversal are routine

FIFA president Gianni Infantino responded to recent media attention on two high‑profile incidents. He said a phone call from former President Donald Trump was not unusual. Infantino also called the reversal of Folarin Balogun’s suspension a routine matter. Balogun had previously been suspended from competition. The suspension was later reversed by FIFA. Infantino stressed that both actions fall within normal FIFA processes. He warned that the focus should remain on the challenges facing the World Cup. Observers will watch how the federation manages future governance matters.
