FIFA lifts Folarin Balogun's suspension ahead of USMNT vs Belgium as Solana meme tokens and crypto prediction markets surge around his World Cup

Folarin Balogun's controversial World Cup red card spawned a Solana meme token and prediction market activity as crypto traders speculate on USMNT outcomes.

FIFA rules block any appeal of Balogun's red card suspension before the USMNT vs Belgium match, while a Solana meme token surged on the news.

“The implementation of the match suspension is suspended for a probationary period of one year,” FIFA announced Sunday.
