After the game, he saw a man in a black suit, bearded and handsome, sprawled near a dugout. “Someone threw a ball at him, and he juggled it beautifully. Lovely touches, he might be a professional, I thought,” he says. He asked who he was; friends said he was running for mayor. “I don’t listen to political stuff and all that. But I thought, wow, cool we are going to get a mayor who plays soccer,” he says. He watched the speech on television and became an instant admirer. “He said something like soccer is a big part of New Yorkers and a unifying force in the boroughs.

Donald Trump admits he asked FIFA to review Balogun’s World Cup suspension

Published by Webster

3 min readUpdated: Jul 6, 2026 09:31 PM IST US President Donald Trump has admitted that he lobbied with FIFA president Gianni Infantino to get USA forward Folarin Balogun’s one-match suspension reviewed, a decision that has caused a furore in the ongoing 2026 World Cup. Balogun was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic, which also means a suspension for the next game.

The US President has now confirmed his role in an interaction with reporters at The Oval Office in the White House. “You’re asking me about the whole soccer thing. So, yeah, I did. I spoke …
