She called on FIFA to acknowledge the decision to suspend Balogun’s ban as an error."

We need our leader in FIFA to say that this was an error," Klaveness told The Times. "If you start to adapt in such a way towards state leaders and state politics, you will move your behavior and the organization's behavior, and also the red line of what states' leaders should interfere with.

It is very important now to have honest communication around it. We all know that this verdict was influenced from external forces and did not have the proper process," Klaveness said. "When you bend a rule like this, you're on a slippery slope that will put the whole game at risk.

It is a worry for the game when you compromise fundamental rules of the game."Klaveness called the case of FIFA suspending Balogun’s red card ban both "serious" and "worrying.""This case was so serious and so worrying that I hope that it might contribute to bring people out a little bit and don't fear to bring up cases," she said.

"I will bring it to a board meeting and discuss with my board, and then we do it. To me, it should be in the same sphere of ethical complaint."ZERO BS.
