FIFA is preparing to alter its disciplinary regulations following the contentious decision to rescind a World Cup suspension issued to Folarin Balogun, according to reporting by ESPN and Al Jazeera. The governing body's council is expected to bar disciplinary committees from voiding match penalties, preventing similar reversals in future tournaments.
