News Summary:

FIFA and UEFA confirmed on July 8 that they are not planning to allow Russian clubs and national teams to return to international competitions in the near future, stating that the International Olympic Committee's decision to temporarily restore the rights of the Russian Olympic Committee will not affect football's current suspension. This announcement followed FIFA's dismissal of criticism from UEFA on July 6, after UEFA accused FIFA of "crossing a red line" in its handling of Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA had suspended Balogun's one-game ban, enabling the USA striker to play in the World Cup last 16 tie against Belgium. This decision prompted the Belgian team to challenge the player’s eligibility for the match.
