Why the USMNT can't appeal Folarin Balogun's suspension after his controversial World Cup red card

Folarin Balogun was shown a red card in the 63rd minute during the United States Men's National Team's 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2026 World Cup. The dismissal was deemed controversial, and Balogun now faces an automatic suspension. The USMNT has no avenue to appeal the suspension, meaning Balogun will be unavailable for the team's upcoming Round of 16 match.
