Polymarket and Kalshi are prediction markets platforms, where users trade contracts based on the probability of a certain event occurring. In Brazil, however, this type of service was prohibited by the federal government, which ordered the blocking of these platforms as it understood that their operation does not comply with Brazilian regulations for betting and financial markets. The change took place on Sunday, shortly after FIFA confirmed that Balogun would be released to play in the match. Until then, Belgium led the projections on both platforms.

Decision came after Trump asked for review Earlier, Trump stated that he personally asked FIFA president Gianni Infantino to review the red card received by Folarin Balogun in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The attacker had been sent off after the referee considered a move in which he stepped on an opponent's ankle to be violent. With the punishment, Balogun would be out of the clash against Belgium. On Sunday, FIFA announced that the player was released to play in the match. According to the entity, the suspension was annulled after an independent disciplinary review process, provided for in its regulations. The decision was based on article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, entitled "Suspension of the implementation of disciplinary measures". See what he says: The judicial body may decide to suspend, in whole or in part, the execution of a disciplinary measure. When suspending the application of the sanction, the judicial body subjects the sanctioned person to a period of probation of one to four years. If the person benefiting from a suspended sanction commits another infraction of a similar nature and gravity during the probation period, the suspension will be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction executed, without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed by the new infraction. Disciplinary measures related to match manipulation cannot be suspended. *Report being updated
