Sept 7 (Reuters) - Belgium will not support Gianni Infantino's bid for another term as FIFA president unless it receives satisfactory answers over the handling of the Folarin Balogun red-card case at the World Cup and other governance concerns, the country's football federation (RBFA) said on Monday.
Belgium has sought explanations over the disciplinary process involving Balogun, whose automatic red-card ban was suspended by FIFA, allowing the U.S. striker to face Belgium in their World Cup last-16 clash after U.S. President Donald Trump personally urged Infantino to review the case.

9月7日（路透社）——比利时足球协会（RBFA）周一表示，除非就世界杯上福拉林·巴洛贡红牌事件的处理以及其他管理问题得到令人满意的答复，否则比利时不会支持詹尼·因凡蒂诺竞选连任国际足联主席。
比利时就巴洛贡的纪律处分程序寻求解释。巴洛贡原本被自动红牌禁赛，但国际足联暂停了对他的禁赛处罚，使得这位美国前锋得以在世界杯16强赛中对阵比利时。此前，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普亲自敦促因凡蒂诺重新审查此案。
