Brazil federation defends ref criticised by Trump in Balogun storm

Brazil’s football federation on Monday defended the integrity of a referee who US President Donald Trump said was “a little bit suspect”, amid a furore over FIFA’s reversal of a red card given to US striker Folarin Balogun.

“There is nothing in his record that discredits him or gives grounds for any suspicion,” the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said in a statement sent to AFP. “He is an exemplary professional.”
