France appeals yellow card issued to Olise against Paraguay
Summary

France has appealed to FIFA regarding the yellow card shown to Michael Olise during the Round of 16 match against Paraguay on July 4, 2026. Olise received the card following an incident in the 97th minute where he was involved in an altercation with Matías Galarza. The French Football Federation argues that the booking was unwarranted, as replays indicated Olise was merely holding Galarza’s shirt. A successful appeal could allow Olise to play in the potential semifinal against Morocco.
