The Norwegian Football Federation will file a complaint with FIFA's Ethics Committee regarding former U.S. President Donald Trump’s intervention in the case of footballer Folarin Balogun. Trump reportedly contacted FIFA President Gianni Infantino, which led to the lifting of Balogun’s suspension. The suspension stemmed from Balogun’s decision to switch international allegiance from the United States to Nigeria. Norway believes Trump’s involvement constitutes undue influence and a breach of FIFA’s rules. They argue the intervention compromises the integrity of the sport and fair competition. The Norwegian federation seeks a review of the decision and a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Balogun’s eligibility. This complaint highlights concerns about political interference in football governance.
