World Cup Integrity Questioned by European Rights Body

The Council of Europe, a group of 46 countries, has raised concerns about the fairness of the World Cup.

They think that money and power are influencing important decisions.

For example, they are upset that a player named Folarin Balugun was allowed to play in a big game after his punishment was canceled.

They also think that FIFA, the organization that runs soccer, made a bad deal with a company that lets people bet on small moments in the game.

The Council of Europe wants FIFA to make sure the next World Cup in 2030 is fair and transparent.
