FIFA Faces Potential Legal Action After Lifting Cristiano Ronaldo’s Ban

FIFA may soon find itself at the center of a legal battle after temporarily overturning the suspension of Cristiano Ronaldo, allowing the Portuguese star to feature in Portugal’s first two matches at the World Cup, according to Mail Sport.
The 40-year-old forward was originally set to miss those fixtures due to a red card received in a match against Ireland. However, FIFA reduced his three-match ban to a single game — a decision that has sparked a wave of criticism across the football community.
According to the report, teams scheduled to face Portugal in the group stage are considering taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in an attempt to reinstate the initial suspension.
