FIFA set for rule change after Balogun red card row at the World Cup: reports

FIFA is set to introduce a rule change following the controversy surrounding the red card given to Senegal's Sadio Mané in the World Cup. The governing body's council is expected to prohibit disciplinary committees from overturning match suspensions, ensuring consistency in referee decisions.

The change comes after Mané was initially shown a red card for a foul on Netherlands' Denzel Dumfries, which was later overturned on appeal. The new rule will aim to prevent such inconsistencies in the future.
