Belgium's football federation is challenging the eligibility of United States striker Folarin Balogun to play in their World Cup match. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The Belgians are questioning Balogun's right to represent the US, citing his previous appearances for Nigeria's youth teams. Balogun previously played for Nigeria's youth sides but later switched to the US senior team. Under FIFA rules, a player must meet certain conditions to change national teams.
The World Cup match between Belgium and the US is scheduled to take place soon. FIFA will decide on Balogun's participation.
