Uefa puts European football on war footing with Fifa over Balogun decision

Uefa has escalated its conflict with Fifa by endorsing a statement accusing the world governing body of crossing a "red line" over the reinstatement of USA striker Folarin Balogun.

Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin, previously conspicuous by his absence at the World Cup, has now thrown his support behind the dramatic move, positioning European football on a "war footing" with its South American counterpart. esporist.com
