New updates emerge as South Africa’s possibility suffered a score deduction in the 2026 Africa World Cup qualifier.
As countries around the world play qualifiers, South Africa is one of the qualified favorites from Africa, so the 2026 World Cup is gradually taking shape and is currently in the news because the reason is that it involves the reasons for possible point deductions.
Mokoena won two yellow cards in the qualifiers against Benin and Zimbabwe in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, leaving him ineligible for the Lesotho fixture. However, his suspension was ignored and his participation was revealed after the game, which made the team vulnerable to the soccer dominance agency.
Although the team competed in the AFCON qualifiers between the two, the suspension of the World Cup qualifiers remains in effect as the two tournaments are different. If the deduction occurs, it could seriously undermine Bafana’s chances of getting a seat at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Mokhosi Mohapi, Secretary General of the Lesotho Football Association, according to Goars.com, ComAre the rules violated? If so, we have the right to protest and make points. We knew about Mokoena’s reservations and have since formal inquiries about CAF and FIFA. ”
Mohapi added that Nigeria is also considering protests as the results of the game (last Friday) affected multiple teams. He said:If we hire a non-qualified player and benefit, Bafana will protest. These rules are clear and Safa should be aware of bookings. No sad feeling – we just want these points. ”
