British MPs urge FIFA to suspend Quansah’s red card for Norway tie

British MPs have urged world football’s governing body FIFA to suspend the red card shown to England international Jarell Quansah, allowing him to feature against Norway in the World Cup quarter-final. The call comes as Quansah faces a suspension that would rule him out of the high-profile clash.

Quansah received a straight red card during England’s last match, a decision that automatically triggers a one-match ban under current FIFA regulations. The timing of the suspension means he would miss the quarter-final against Norway, a fixture England are targeting to progress further in the tournament.

British politicians have publicly backed the campaign to have the red card reviewed or rescinded, arguing that the punishment may have been unduly harsh. Their intervention adds political pressure on FIFA to reconsider the decision before the quarter-final kick-off.

Quansah himself has not commented publicly on the red card or the suspension, while FIFA has yet to respond to the calls from British MPs. The world governing body typically reviews red card decisions only under exceptional circumstances, leaving the outcome uncertain ahead of the Norway tie.
