EU lawmakers press football chiefs for action on Trump-Infantino red card controversy

EU lawmakers demanded an investigation into FIFA President Gianni Infantino after FIFA overturned a red-card suspension for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun following a call from Donald Trump. The lawmakers criticized FIFA's mid-tournament rule change as a perversion of justice and accused Infantino of yielding to Trump's influence. A letter from 72 members of the European Parliament urged football federations to support the probe.
