France has appealed to FIFA to overturn the yellow card issued to forward Michael Olise during the team's Round of 16 match against Paraguay on Saturday.

Olise received the booking after a confrontation with Paraguay midfielder Matias Galarza, which ended with Galarza falling to the ground while holding his face.

France is seeking the removal of the card ahead of its quarter-final clash with Morocco on Thursday in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The appeal is aimed at ensuring Olise remains available for the tournament's later stages, as another yellow card against Morocco would rule him out of a potential semi-final match if France progresses.
