USA national team forward Folarin Balogun has been cleared for the first time since the situation regarding his disqualification before the World Cup 2026.

The forward took part in the 1/8 final match against Belgium, which ended with a defeat of the Americans with a score of 1:4. Before the game, FIFA cut him off automatically from one side, which had a wide resonance among the football community.

The footballer himself said that he had not made a hundred cents before the process of the praised decision.

" So, especially for me, it didn’t come as a great surprise.

Proteus, as a gravel, I can just go out into the field and focus on my work. I am guilty of respecting this protocol, but knowing little about it. I was happy with my decisions when I took away the red card and played the same when I was allowed to play.

I don’t take any part in this process, and it doesn’t matter to me especially,” said Balogun.

When the forward returned to the warehouse, the US national team could not impose a fight on Belgium and ended their performance at the home world championship already at the stage of the 1/8 finals.
