The player reported as red-carded for the USA team was Folarin Balogun in the USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina match on July 1, 2026. The report says the red card came after a VAR review and left the U.S. with 10 men for the final 25 minutes.

Quick Scoop

  • Name: Folarin Balogun
  • Team: USA / USMNT
  • Match: World Cup 2026 vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Why it matters: It was described as controversial and could bring a suspension

What happened

Balogun scored first, then later received a red card after a tangle with Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic was reviewed on VAR. The article says the referee initially did not call a foul, then changed the decision after watching the replay.

Note

There was also an older USA red-card incident involving Tim Weah in Copa America 2024, but the latest “red flagged” USA team reference points to Balogun.
