The KBVB's decision follows the lead of many other European football associations. According to KBVB chairman Pascale Van Damme, there are too many unanswered questions, particularly regarding Infantino's plans to sell World Cup shares to commercial parties. The KNVB had already lost trust in Infantino. The KBVB remains unclear about the decision-making process surrounding Balogun's red card, which was revoked after a phone call from Donald Trump. The red card was subsequently overturned, allowing Balogun to play in the match against Belgium, which the Belgians won 4-1. The KBVB will discuss the Balogun dossier at the next FIFA meeting on 15 October.
