Demand for investigation against FIFA president Infantino

The European Parliament has called for an investigation into FIFA President Gianni Infantino over allegations of bias in international football. A group of European Parliament lawmakers launched a special investigation into the FIFA president's role in the World Cup on Tuesday (July 8).

They have also reportedly sent a letter to the football associations of the 27 countries that make up the European Union, according to a report by AP News. 

The letter says that everyone should unite and take formal action against this biased behavior of FIFA. European policymakers believe that it is time for European countries to intervene now to maintain the transparency and integrity of World Cup football and demand a fair investigation into the decision-making process of Balogan's case. 
 
The incident originally began last week in a match in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Balogan received a direct red card in that game. But US President Donald Trump claimed that the red card was 'unfair'. After that, FIFA used a strange legal loophole to suspend Balogan's ban. 
 
It is heard that Trump called FIFA President Infantino about this. He also thanked him for 'putting an end to a huge injustice'. The incident has raised deep doubts about FIFA. 
 
It is known that FIFA's unprecedented decision has ignited intense anger across Europe. European football's supreme body UEFA strongly criticized the incident and said, 'This is an unprecedented, unbelievable and completely unacceptable incident.' 
 
It is worth noting that FIFA and its authorities have been involved in refereeing controversies in several matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The European Parliament will investigate those allegations, as well as political pressure, sponsorship issues, etc. on the results of the games.
