FIFA Issues Statement on England's Goal! 'No Evidence Found'

In the 2026 World Cup semifinal between Norway and England at Miami Stadium, a goal scored by Jude Bellingham for England in the 45+2nd minute made headlines. It was reported that after a goal kick by Norwegian goalkeeper Örjan Nyland, the ball struck a camera while in the air and changed direction; FIFA addressed the matter in a post on its social media account. In its statement on the matter, FIFA said, “Prior to England’s goal in the 45+2nd minute, the sensor inside the ball showed no deviation in the graphics. Therefore, no evidence was found that the ball made contact with the cable or that it altered the ball’s trajectory.”
