FIFA suspended two U.S. Soccer officials ahead of Monday night’s 4–1 loss to B
elgium in Seattle, quietly announcing the bans on its website.
FIFA在美国队周一晚间于西雅图以1比4败给比利时之前，暂停了两名美国足协官员的职务，
并低调地在官方网站公布这项处分
The officials were team manager Sam Zapatka and U.S. Soccer vice president of se
curity Frank Pannell.
遭到停职的官员分别是球队经理Sam Zapatka，以及美国足协安全副总裁Frank Pannell
The exact reason why Zapatka and Pannell were suspended isn’t clear, though it
may be related to FIFA’s controversial handling of Folarin Balogun’s red card.
Zapatka与Pannell遭到停职的确切原因尚不清楚，但可能与FIFA对Folarin Balogun红牌事
件的争议性处理有关
A spokesperson for U.S. Soccer acknowledged the suspensions but declined to comm
ent on them, directing questions to FIFA, which did not comment.
美国足协发言人证实两人遭到停职，但拒绝进一步评论，并将相关问题交由FIFA回应，而FI
FA则未发表任何评论。
FIFA released three separate “disciplinary previews” for Monday’s games. The
first included Balogun’s suspension, the second listed only players and coaches
who had yellow cards but not Balogun, and the third listed Zapatka and Pannell.
FIFA针对周一的比赛发布了三份不同版本的“纪律预告”。第一份包含Balogun的停赛资讯
；第二份仅列出领到黄牌的球员与教练，没有Balogun；第三份则列出了Zapatka与Pannell
。
The two updates were the only two updated disciplinary previews for the entire t
ournament; every other match day just has a single disciplinary preview listed.
这两次更新是整个赛事期间仅有的两次纪律预告更新，其他所有比赛日都只有一份纪律预告
。
Pannell and Zapatka appear to be the only two federation officials who were disc
iplined at this World Cup, according to FIFA’s website, although several coache
s received yellow cards.
根据FIFA官网资料，Pannell与Zapatka似乎是本届世界杯唯一受到纪律处分的足协官员，虽
然有数名教练曾领到黄牌。
Zapatka has been a regular on the pitch for U.S. Soccer dating back years and wa
s on the sidelines for the U.S. matches before Monday night’s loss. His LinkedI
n page says he worked for the federation in a variety of roles since 2015 before
being promoted to men’s national team manager in 2020.
Zapatka多年来一直是美国足协在场边的固定成员，在周一晚间输给比利时之前的美国队比
赛中，他也都在场边待命，他的LinkedIn资料显示，他自2015年起就在美国足协担任多项职
务，并于2020年升任男子国家队经理。
It was Zapakta, for example, who formed the group chat where the 2026 World Cup
players were informed they made the roster.
例如就是由Zapatka建立了群组聊天，通知2026年世界杯入选球员他们已正式进入名单。
Pannell has said that he worked for the Secret Service and CIA before transition
ing to a career in private security.
Pannell曾表示，他在转任私人安全领域之前，曾任职于美国特勤局与中央情报局CIA
