“FIFA crossed the Red Line” The revolt against Infantino erupts after the Balog card decision

FIFA President Gianni Infantino is facing major objections following the controversy created about the removed red card for attacker Folarin Balog, reports The Times.
According to the report, some national federations are considering the possibility of changing their stance on the re-election of Infantino, as they believe FIFA has crossed a red line, pushing the suspension of Baclogun after the end of the World Cup, following alleged intervention by US President Donald Trump.
Although Infantino is still expected to be re-elected without opposition next year, this wave of criticism could significantly weaken its influence during its recent term at the helm of the largest world football organisation.
The political intervention in football does not become stronger than what Trump has done, while FIFA's attempts to explain have been ridiculous. Infantino's power has waned, he is very isolated now and will be a president without the influence of former”, a high source from the world of prestigious media football has been told The Times reports Telegraph, broadcast Periscope.
According to the report, Germany's federations Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland have criticised the FIFA disciplinary committee's decision, which confirmed Balogun's red card but decided that his suspension would be postponed.
The issue is also expected to affect Infantino's plans for expanding the World Cup for Club, transforming it into a competition held every two years, as well as efforts to change FIFA's statutes in order to seek another mandate beyond 2031. /Periscope/
