The Bosnia and Herzegovina national team was involved in a controversy after US President Donald Trump requested that FIFA review the red card given to Folarin Balogun in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

What happened?

Trump said he believed the dismissal was unjustified and that he had only requested a review of the incident, not attempted to influence FIFA's final decision.

Why does this matter for Bosnia and Herzegovina?

This controversy is particularly important for Bosnia and Herzegovina as the incident that triggered the suspension occurred during the match between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

What comes next?

FIFA later suspended the sanction, making Balogun eligible to play against Belgium. This decision sparked criticism and renewed debate over the independence of FIFA's disciplinary process
