FIFA has dismissed Belgium's challenge over the eligibility of US forward Folarin Balogun after the world soccer governing body decided to suspend his one-game ban ahead of the World Cup round-of-16 game with the United States, APA reports.
"The request was rendered inadmissible on the grounds that the RBFA [Royal Belgian Football Association] is not a party to the proceedings and, as such, has no standing to appeal the decision," FIFA ruled.
