Uefa declares war on FIFA over Balogun suspension decision

Published July 6, 2026 · Updated July 6, 2026 · The Guardian

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has effectively put European football on a 'war footing' with FIFA following the decision to lift Folarin Balogun's suspension.

By endorsing a statement accusing FIFA of making an 'incomprehensible and unjustifiable' decision, Ceferin highlighted the growing rift between the global and European governing bodies.

This dramatic move regarding the USA striker's eligibility for Monday's match against Belgium could have major implications for the future of international football. noplasticplease.life
