rewrite this title European Lawmakers Demand Investigation Into FIFA President Over U.S. Red Card Reversal

The Union of European Football Associations, the governing body of soccer in Europe, wrote in a statement that the reversal “crossed a red line,” calling it “unjustifiable.”

“When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined,” the organization said. 

Wednesday’s letter was the second members of the European Parliament have sent in recent days raising questions about Infantino’s ethics and pressing for decisions the organization has made in connection with Trump to be investigated.

In another letter last week, 50 members of the body wrote to Infantino himself and members of the FIFA council voicing their support for an ethics complaint filed by nonprofit organization FairSquare regarding Infantino’s decision to award Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize in December.

“Perhaps the most troubling development of the tournament has been FIFA’s decision to award the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize to Donald Trump,” the lawmakers wrote. They went on the urge that the organization “must address Fairsquare’s ethics complaint and demonstrate that it upholds the core values of fairness, equality, and respect for human dignity.”
