Folarin Balogun will be eligible to play for the U.S. men's national team in their World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium on July 6 at 8 p.m. ET after FIFA lifted his one-game suspension. Balogun's availability comes after a controversial red card in the previous match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which the team initially expected him to serve. He has scored three goals in the tournament thus far, contributing significantly to the USMNT's success. The USMNT faces Belgium at Lumen Field in Seattle, needing a win to advance further in the tournament.
