London ¨C Norway¡¯s soccer chief told The Times that the nation is set to make a formal complaint to FIFA over the suspension of Folarin Balogun¡¯s World Cup ban because it has put ¡°the whole game at risk.¡±
Lise Klaveness, the president of the Norwegian Football Federation, says she will seek the backing of her board at a meeting on Aug. 6 to lodge the complaint with FIFA¡¯s ethics committee over an incident that ¡°should not have happened.¡±
