Turin, July 6 (LaPresse) – FIFA’s Appeal Committee has rejected the appeal lodged by Belgium against the lifting of the suspension imposed on U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, who was sent off in the World Cup round of 32 against Bosnia but is available for tonight’s round of 16 match against the team coached by Rudi Garcia. “The request has been declared inadmissible because the Royal Belgian Football Association is not a party to the proceedings and therefore has no standing to appeal the decision,” FIFA said in a statement. Balogun will therefore be able to play in the round of 16 match against Belgium.
