FIFA Discipline Chair Refuses To Answer Questions On Quansah Ban
FIFA's disciplinary committee chairman refused to answer questions about England defender Jarrell Quansah's two-match suspension, which England manager Thomas Tuchel says was handed down without explanation.
The BBC reports that FIFA's disciplinary committee chairman declined to answer journalists' questions regarding England defender Jarrell Quansah's two-match suspension. Quansah received a red card in England's 3-2 Round of 16 victory over co-hosts Mexico, after which England appealed the ban following the case of US forward Folarin Balogun, who received a one-year suspension. FIFA subsequently upheld Quansah's two-match ban, sparking further criticism including from England manager Thomas Tuchel, who stated he has received no explanation for the punishment. Most recently, BBC editor Dan Roan confronted FIFA disciplinary chairman Mohammad Al Kamali with questions about both Quansah and Balogun's cases, but Al Kamali provided no answers. FIFA previously issued an 871-word statement on Balogun's ruling, emphasizing that the decision was made after considering all relevant circumstances and evidence, though it declined to specify what factors were actually considered.
