The European Commission has demanded fairness and transparency in light of FIFA's controversial decision to reverse the red-card suspension for US striker Folarin Balogun following a personal intervention by US President Donald Trump.
Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino and asked him to undo Balogun's suspension, and later thanked Infantino for "reversing a great injustice".
As a result, Balogun has been allowed to play in the US's upcoming knockout match against Belgium.
