Norway's football federation is formally complaining to FIFA about the decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's suspension after Donald Trump's involvement. FIFA president Gianni Infantino reportedly suspended the ban after Trump urged him to let the US striker play. Norway's president, Lise Klaveness, warned that bending rules due to political pressure puts the whole game at risk.
