The European Parliament is seeking a formal investigation into Gianni Infantino after FIFA suspended Folarin Balogun’s red card ban following a personal call from former US President Donald Trump.MEPs Barry Andrews, Lara Wolters and Niels Fuglsang say the suspension violated internal rules and political neutrality, and European Commissioner Glenn Micallef calls the decision wrong as UEFA and the Belgian Football Federation challenge Balogun’s eligibility.Critics including
Sepp Blatter argue the episode shows how Infantino’s centralized leadership bypasses committees and they are urging governance reforms at
FIFA and a public accounting at the upcoming electoral congress.
