The motion
That this House regrets the decision taken by FIFA to overturn the suspension following a dismissal in the previous match given to Folarin Balogun of the USA; states its solidarity with the position of the Belgian FA that they are astonished by FIFA’s decision which is in contradiction of Article 66.4 of their disciplinary code; notes that the player was sent off as a result of a video assistant referee review; urges FIFA to explain why England’s Jarell Quansah will face a suspension following a video assistant referee review; and calls on them to issue a statement outlining how the two decisions are consistent and how the integrity of the competition can be maintained.
