FIFA will seek to make amendments to its disciplinary code to prevent a repeat of the scandal that engulfed the World Cup when United States forward Folarin Balogun’s ban was controversially suspended in the middle of the tournament after receiving a red card. On Thursday, the FIFA Council — the decision-making arm of world football’s governing body, which includes its president Gianni Infantino, eight vice-presidents and 28 other members — will meet for the first time since the World Cup. It will be presented with an amendment to the regulations aimed at preventing similar scenarios from playing out once again.   submitted by   /u/TheAthletic [link]   [comments]
