## 國際足總將修訂紀律條例 國際足聯（FIFA）將會修訂其紀律條例。呢個決定係喺美國前鋒巴洛根嘅自動禁賽決定引起爭議之後做出嘅。比利時足球總會（RBFA）喺星期四（10月15日）表示，佢哋已經向足球管理機構提出質詢，隨後 FIFA 決定採取行動。 ## 事件背景：巴洛根禁賽爭議 今次修訂嘅導火線，係關於巴洛根喺世界盃期間因為領到紅卡而應該被自動禁賽一場，但 FIFA 決定暫緩執行呢個禁賽處分，令佢可以喺 16 強賽對陣比利亞時嘅比賽中上場。呢個決定當時引起咗好大爭議。 更令外界質疑紀律程序獨立性嘅係，美國總統 Donald Trump 表示，佢個人要求 FIFA 會長 Gianni Infantino 重新審視呢個處分。呢個舉動令外界擔心政治因素介入咗足球賽事嘅紀律判決。 ## 修訂重點：針對第 27 條條文 喺星期四（10月15日）於蘇黎世（Zurich）舉行嘅 FIFA 理事會會議之後，RBFA 會長兼 FIFA 理事會成員 Pascale Van Damme 表示，管理機構將會修訂紀律條例嘅第 27 條。根據目前嘅條文，第 27 條允許喺「特殊情況」下暫緩執行紀律處分。 比利時足球總會表示，相關嘅修訂建議將會提交到下次喺多哈（Doha）舉行嘅 FIFA 理事會會議（12月16日）進行審批。 Van Damme 指出：「FIFA 確認會修訂第 27 條，係回應我哋喺 7 月份已經提交嘅要求，呢個係一個重要步驟。建議嘅修訂方案，連同對巴洛根案件具體情況嘅解釋，將會喺多哈會議提交。」 ## 比利時足球總會嘅訴求與 FIFA 回應 RBFA 之前一直要求 FIFA 澄清巴洛根案嘅決定過程，因為佢哋認為 FIFA 冇提供滿意嘅解釋，唔清楚第 27 條係點樣應用，以及未來類似個案會用咩標準嚟判斷。 此外，RBFA 亦要求 FIFA 提供以下保證： * 確認紀律程序中冇受到外部干預 * 解釋足以證明使用第 27 條嘅「特殊情況」係乜嘢 * 保證成員協會喺未來嘅紀律個案中擁有被聆訊（right to be heard）嘅權利 針對呢啲要求，RBFA 表示 FIFA 已經回覆，強調所有決定都係由其司法機關獨立做出，並確認目前已經開始著手修訂第 27 條。 比利時足球總會之前要求將巴洛根案列入星期四（10月15日）理事會會議嘅議程，目的係希望整個過程能夠更加透明。 ## 總結 今次 FIFA 決定修訂第 27 條，反映出原先關於「特殊情況」暫緩禁賽嘅權限過於模糊，容易引起公平性爭議，尤其係涉及高層政治人物介入嘅指控時。透過明確化條文，預計將會減少未來類似個案對賽事公正性造成嘅影響。

RBFA cites transparency and governance concerns over FIFA Forward Enterprise and the handling of US striker Folarin Balogun’s World Cup red card.

Gianni Infantino has come under further fire as the Belgian FA (RBFA) said it "cannot support" his re-election, citing Folarian Balogun's rescinded red card case in its decision. The United States striker was cleared to play against Belgium in the World Cup last-16 after a one-match ban was suspended by Fifa's disciplinary committee. ### US President Donald Trump admitted he called Infantino asking for the decision to be reviewed. Despite requests at the time by the RBFA for an explanation of why the move was made, no official statement has been made. ### TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say ### The RBFA has now issued a statement explaining why it cannot support Infantino's re-election bid. It wrote: "Important questions remain unanswered in our view. "Despite our explicit requests for [one] a clear justification of the decisions taken and [two] details on how such situations will be handled in the future, we have not yet received any satisfactory response on this matter. "Once again, the RBFA believes that complete transparency and clear explanations are essential." ### ### ### LATEST SPORTS NEWS * Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone 'arrested for illegally carrying shotgun at airport' * Donald Trump to join Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm at Irish Open with protests planned * 'King' Kimi Antonelli hailed as wonder-maker after coming from last to win Italian Grand Prix ### The RBFA is continuing to pursue the matter, citing a lack of transparency regarding FIFA's decision. It continued: "The RBFA notes that, in this matter, a number of important decisions and assessments have, to date, not been sufficiently substantiated by adequate justifications. "This raises questions regarding the transparency and governance of this process. "We remain in close contact with Uefa and, together, we are seeking clear answers regarding the decision-making process and the next steps." ### ### ### The RBFA President, Pascale van Damme, also made his feelings known on the matter. He said: "Two months after the events, our questions remain unanswered. "Given the importance of transparency and clarity for all parties involved, we request the necessary explanations and, at the same time, wish to explore where improvements to the current processes are possible, so that similar cases can be handled in a clear, consistent and efficient manner in the future. "Together with Uefa, the other confederations and the national associations, we remain committed to transparency in decision-making, strong governance and clear processes. We remain open to constructive cooperation, in the interest of the trust, integrity and future of football." ### ### ### Balogun's red card was only the second after Brazil's Garrincha in 1962 to be suspended. Fifa did not explain the decision, only referencing "article 27 of the Fifa disciplinary code". Infantino confirmed this week he will stand for re-election in March, having been the Fifa boss since 2016. He has been under immense pressure following his failed Fifa Forward Enterprise plan, which sought to sell stakes in the governing body's competitions, including the World Cup. ### **Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**
